This study aimed to explore the experiences, perceptions, knowledge,
concerns, and intentions of Gen Z students with Gen X and Gen Y teachers
regarding the use of generative AI (GenAI) in higher education. A sample of
students and teachers were recruited to investigate the above using a survey
consisting of both open and closed questions. The findings showed that Gen Z
participants were generally optimistic about the potential benefits of GenAI,
including enhanced productivity, efficiency, and personalized learning, and
expressed intentions to use GenAI for various educational purposes. Gen X and
Gen Y teachers acknowledged the potential benefits of GenAI but expressed
heightened concerns about overreliance, ethical and pedagogical implications,
emphasizing the need for proper guidelines and policies to ensure responsible
use of the technology. The study highlighted the importance of combining
technology with traditional teaching methods to provide a more effective
learning experience. Implications of the findings include the need to develop
evidence-based guidelines and policies for GenAI integration, foster critical
thinking and digital literacy skills among students, and promote responsible
use of GenAI technologies in higher education.

本研究旨在探讨 Gen Z 学生与 Gen X 和 Gen Y 教师在高等教育中使用生成式人工智能（GenAI）方面的经验、感知、知识、关注和意图。调查发现，Gen Z 参与者普遍对 GenAI 的潜在好处持乐观态度，包括增强生产力、效率和个性化学习，并表达了使用 GenAI 进行各种教育目的的意图。Gen X 和 Gen Y 教师承认 GenAI 的潜在好处，但对其过度依赖，伦理和教学影响表示高度关注，强调有必要制定适当的指导方针和政策，以确保负责任地使用该技术。本研究强调了将技术与传统教学方法相结合，以提供更有效的学习体验的重要性。结果的含义包括需要为 GenAI 集成开发基于证据的指南和政策，培养学生的批判性思维和数字素养技能，并促进在高等教育中负责任地使用 GenAI 技术。
