Fear of the unknown: AI anxiety in academia
Mickey Mann January 7, 2025

universities across the country have banned AI software and
Large Language Models (LLMs) like Chat GPT from their
classrooms.

by providing much-needed support. But is fear of the unknown
holding back this technology from reaching its full potential?
