SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Studiosity, the leading provider of evidence-based, ethical AI writing feedback, welcomes the recent findings in the American Council on Education’s 2025 Fall Pulse Point Survey (September 2025) regarding institutional leaders’ attitudes towards generative AI in student learning. With responses from 517 senior higher education leaders, the survey reveals a significant and growing openness to integrating AI tools into postsecondary teaching and learning, along with clear expectations around ethics, rigor, and faculty involvement.
As a contributor to the AI-related question set, Studiosity is particularly encouraged by several findings:
- Among provost, deans, and vice provosts, 90 percent of respondents said educator visibility, the ability of instructors to identify, understand, and evaluate student use of genAI tools, is “extremely,” “very,” or “moderately” important.
- A strong majority (91%) of senior leaders indicated academically rigorous evidence on learning outcomes is “extremely,” “very,” or “moderately,” influential in institutional decisions about adopting AI tools.
- On the suitability of productivity-oriented generative AI for student learning, responses were more cautious: only 12% judged these tools to be “extremely suitable,” while 31% said “very suitable,” and 35% “moderately suitable.”
- In terms of adoption timelines, 25% of respondents said their campus has already adopted genAI student support tools, with another 22% planning to implement within six months and 43% within 1-2 years.
These insights underscore the methodology of “hurrying, slowly.” There is both a sense of opportunity and caution that senior leaders are bringing to AI conversations. For Studiosity, whose mission is to support equitable, pedagogically-grounded student learning, these results resonate deeply.
“We are heartened to see that senior leaders overwhelmingly demand evidence, transparency, and educator insights as AI becomes more prevalent on campuses and online,” says Michael Larsen, CEO, Studiosity. “It affirms the direction we have long pursued: integration of AI in ways that augment, not supplant, faculty insight and student agency.”
“Generative AI holds great potential for scale and personalization, but only if implemented with intent, ethics, and clear accountability,” says Derrick Anderson, Vice President for Enterprise Design and Policy, University of Utah. “The ACE survey helps validate the guardrails institutions are demanding.”
The ACE survey also defines the barriers that institutions are facing, including knowledge and training needs, faculty and staff buy-in, and constraints of time, resources, and technological capacities. Studiosity views these as areas where partners, professional development, and thoughtful onboarding are essential.
