| contents | This study examined generative AI usage among Philippine college students particularly on frequency, devices, reasons, knowledge, trust, perceptions, and challenges. Most students used free AI tools on smartphones due to financial constraints. They used it primarily for homework, idea generation, and research. Less than half felt confident with AI and expressed mixed feelings about its accuracy. Barriers included limited access, lack of teacher support, difficulty understanding outputs, and financial constraints. The study highlighted the need for better access, support, training, and ethical guidelines. Broader concerns included impacts on learning, academic standards, job loss, and privacy. Students viewed AI positively due to peer support. Recommendations are discussed. |
