3 Ways Students Can Get The Most Out Of AI At University
Study can be demanding, particularly when exam season rolls around. Rather than spending endless hours at the library or deep diving into web pages that may or may not prove helpful, modern technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) mean that we can now optimize our study time to be more effective and efficient.
Want to know how you can get the most out of AI during your time at university? Here are three tasks this innovative technology can assist you with.
1. Developing Study Plans
A study plan can be a huge help when it comes to boosting your productivity. But if you’re not keen on the idea of spending hours breaking down your tasks and putting them into charts, you may want to turn to AI.
With the help of AI, you can swiftly create a succinct, easy-to-follow plan tailored to your individual study goals and needs, based on tried and tested techniques and hacks (e.g. the Pomodoro technique). AI can help you to identify exactly how long you’ll need to spend on each task, taking your deadlines into account. This is a simple way to streamline your study, and boost your productivity as a result.
2. Research Assistance
AI is perhaps most useful when it comes to providing research assistance – within seconds, you can have access to all of the information that’s available to you on the internet, without having to go digging yourself. Just make sure that you’re taking an ethical approach to AI-generated information – you want to use AI as a learning resource, rather than a content creation tool that could result in plagiarized work.
To further support your learning, you can use AI to simulate exam questions and then automatically grade your answers. This can be useful if you’ve got upcoming exams, and are looking to put your new-found knowledge into practice.

3. Industry Insights
Most university students are eager to break into their chosen industry, and may even take steps to begin establishing their career path prior to graduating. For students keen to get ahead, AI presents a wonderful opportunity to keep up to date with industry trends and insights – something that’ll aid them once it’s time to write job applications and attend interviews.
Showing that you’re switched on when it comes to industry affairs will also look great to your professors and demonstrate your enthusiasm when it comes to establishing yourself in your chosen field. When you’re clued in, you’re likely to be looked upon favourably by academic staff and future employers – this can potentially open up new avenues and opportunities for professional growth.
Prepare Yourself for the Future of AI
With AI use becoming only more prevalent and powerful, it’s important to know how to use it constructively. The key is to allow this technology to assist you, rather than becoming too reliant on the tool. Stay on top of AI trends in order to keep up with these technological innovations – with AI now so widely used in the working world, there’s never been a better time to familiarize yourself with it than your time at university.
