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.

本研究探讨和分析了与人工智能课程相关的部分学生期望和观点。我们对 200 名计算机科学专业的本科生中的 58 名学生进行了匿名调查，使用主题分析对答案进行了分析和解释，以了解他们对人工智能学科的兴趣和吸引力以及其缺点。我们得出结论，学生们对人工智能感兴趣是因为其时尚性、适用性、他们对这个主题的热情和兴趣、未来增长的潜力以及高薪水。然而，学生们的期望主要是在人工智能领域获得中等知识，男性似乎比女性更有兴趣获得高级技能。学生们最不喜欢的部分是人工智能中使用的数学方面。其中一小部分学生还意识到人工智能可能被用于负面目的的潜力。我们的研究还对数据库课程进行了简短比较，学生们对于获得中等知识并不那么热情或有兴趣，他们的兴趣与数据库使用和基本信息相关。
