In this research, we analyze the results of a survey of 2,401 post-secondary students in Canada on their experiences, attitudes, and challenges regarding the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI).

How often are students using generative AI, and what demographic factors are related to frequency of use? Does using generative AI more often correlate with favourable attitudes toward its use in post-secondary settings? Is greater use associated with better learning experiences?
