Abstract
This study investigates the current experiences, perception, knowledge, and concerns regarding the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) among lecturers and students at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences. By surveying 133 participants, including 80 students and 54 faculty members, the research aims to compare the attitude towards GenAI technologies such as ChatGPT in higher education. The findings reveal a high degree of alignment between the two groups, with students
displaying slightly more optimism towards the educational benefits of GenAI. Both groups acknowledge the importance of institutional strategies to manage the risks associated with GenAI and emphasize the need for proficiency in using these tools for future careers. Significant differences include students' stronger belief in the educational advantages of GenAI and their lower concern about potential biases and manipulation. The study highlights the necessity for structured institutional responses and continuous empirical investigation to support the responsible integration of GenAI in higher education.
