The widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in academic settings has the potential to revolutionize learning experiences, enhance educational outcomes, and streamline academic processes. The aim of this research was to explore the perceptions of Lebanese health sciences students regarding the use of generative AI in higher education. A qualitative descriptive research design informed by descriptive phenomenology was employed. Semi-structured interviews were carried out among 23 health sciences students at one major private university in Beirut. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted over the period of 3 months. The inductive thematic analysis generated two themes, and eight subthemes highlighting the benefits and concerns in using AI; customized, self-paced, and autonomous learning, improved language and writing skills, development of innovative concepts, enhanced efficiency, accuracy of information, overreliance on AI, equitable access, unclear policies. Results from this study emphasized the importance of combined efforts across sectors to close access gaps, encourage inclusiveness, and develop well framed policies that enable students to utilize these new technologies for their maximum benefits.
人工智能（AI）工具在学术环境中的广泛应用有可能彻底改变学习体验、提高教育成果并简化学术流程。本研究的目的是探讨黎巴嫩健康科学专业学生对高等教育中使用生成式人工智能的看法。采用了一种基于描述现象学的定性描述性研究设计。对贝鲁特一所主要私立大学的23名健康科学专业学生进行了半结构化访谈。在3个月的时间里进行了归纳主题分析。归纳主题分析产生了两个主题和八个子主题，突出了使用人工智能的好处和担忧；定制化、自主节奏和自主学习、提高语言和写作技能、创新概念的发展、提高效率、信息准确性、过度依赖人工智能、公平获取、政策不明确。本研究结果强调了跨部门共同努力以缩小获取差距、鼓励包容性并制定完善政策以使学生能够最大限度地利用这些新技术的重要性。
