Abstract

This study explores student perspectives on generative AI governance in higher education to ensure responsible and ethical AI integration. Employing a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design, the study gathered data from 111 undergraduate students at Universitas Pelita Harapan through an online survey and semi-structured interviews with 53 students. The study covered key aspects of AI governance, such as ethics, curriculum integration, misuse detection, and academic sanctions, which are crucial for ensuring responsible AI implementation. The findings reveal that students are highly aware of the potential benefits of Generative AI and support its integration into the curriculum. However, they also emphasize the need for clear guidelines, ethics training, and plagiarism detection mechanisms to prevent misuse and uphold academic integrity. These findings provide valuable insights for higher education institutions to develop a comprehensive AI governance framework that balances the potential of Generative AI with the ethical considerations of its use.
