- Title: Students' interest in knowledge acquisition in Artificial Intelligence
- Authors: Manuela-Andreea Petrescu, Emilia-Loredana Pop and Tudor-Dan Mihoc
- Abstract summary: Students are interested in Artificial Intelligence due to its trendiness, applicability, their passion and interest in the subject, the potential for future growth, and high salaries.
The most common part that wasn't enjoyed by the students was the mathematical aspect used in Artificial Intelligence.
Some of them were also aware of the Artificial Intelligence potential which could be used in an unethical manner for negative purposes.

- Abstract: Some students' expectations and points of view related to the Artificial
Intelligence course are explored and analyzed in this study. We anonymous
collected answers from 58 undergraduate students out of 200 enrolled in the
Computer Science specialization. The answers were analysed and interpreted
using thematic analysis to find out their interests and attractive and
unattractive aspects related to the Artificial Intelligence study topic. We
concluded that students are interested in Artificial Intelligence due to its
trendiness, applicability, their passion and interest in the subject, the
potential for future growth, and high salaries. However, the students'
expectations were mainly related to achieving medium knowledge in the
Artificial Intelligence field, and men seem to be more interested in acquiring
high-level skills than women. The most common part that wasn't enjoyed by the
students was the mathematical aspect used in Artificial Intelligence. Some of
them (a small group) were also aware of the Artificial Intelligence potential
which could be used in an unethical manner for negative purposes. Our study
also provides a short comparison to the Databases course, in which students
were not that passionate or interested in achieving medium knowledge, their
interest was related to DB usage and basic information.

This study examined the perceptions of ten online and distance learning students regarding the design of a hypothetical AI Digital Assistant (AIDA)
All participants agreed on the usefulness of such an AI tool while studying and reported benefits from using it for real-time assistance and query resolution, support for academic tasks, personalisation and accessibility, together with emotional and social support.
Students' concerns related to the ethical and social implications of implementing AIDA, data privacy and data use, operational challenges, academic integrity and misuse, and the future of education.

New advances in artificial intelligence have sparked a surge of AI-based storytelling technologies.
This paper investigates how they function in practical storytelling scenarios and how parents, the most critical stakeholders, experience and perceive them.
Our findings suggest that even though AI-based storytelling technologies provide more immersive and engaging interaction, they still cannot meet parents' expectations.
