| Abstract: | On November 30, 2022, ChatGPT 3.5 was introduced to the world. In 5 days, it had 1 million users, while by January 2023, it had 100 million users monthly. In September 2024, it had 180.5 million monthly users. While experimentation with artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT had been occurring for many years (ChatGPT 1 was introduced in 2018), the public had never been given a free, online resource like GPT 3.5, which could write emails, do resumes, and even write academic papers merely on request by the user. This tool opened a world of wonder for students, yet for teachers, it opened a Pandora's box. However, the question is: Do students know what artificial intelligence tools are available to them? Do they know of and use ChatGPT? Surveys were conducted on business students at a small southeastern university in the spring of 2023 and now in the fall of 2024 to see how knowledgeable students are of artificial intelligence and the tools available to them. The survey focused on ChatGPT and whether the students use it, especially in their classrooms. Additionally, are they aware of the ethical dilemmas of using ChatGPT in academic research without it being cited as a reference? The purpose of this paper is to address these questions and issues, as well as to address whether the student's awareness of artificial intelligence tools has increased since ChatGPT 3.5 was released in 2022. |
