- Abstract summary: Survey on adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) by university teachers in their teaching activities.
Results show that 35 teachers (more than half) use GenAI out of 67 respondents.
59% say it has impacted their teaching, however, 55% say there should be legislation around the use of GenAI.

- Abstract: We present insightful results of a survey on the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) by university teachers in their teaching activities. The transformation of education by GenAI, particularly large language models (LLMs), has been presenting both opportunities and challenges, including cheating by students. We prepared the online survey according to best practices and the questions were created by the authors, who have pedagogy experience. The survey contained 12 questions and a pilot study was first conducted. The survey was then sent to all teachers in multiple departments across different campuses of the university of interest in Sweden: Lule{\aa} University of Technology. The survey was available in both Swedish and English. The results show that 35 teachers (more than half) use GenAI out of 67 respondents. Preparation is the teaching activity with the most frequency that GenAI is used for and ChatGPT is the most commonly used GenAI. 59% say it has impacted their teaching, however, 55% say there should be legislation around the use of GenAI, especially as inaccuracies and cheating are the biggest concerns.

Generative AI (genAI) is being used in education for different purposes.
From the teachers' perspective, genAI can support activities such as learning design.
However, GenAI has the potential to negatively affect professional agency due to teachers' limited power.
