In this week’s session, we explored how different academic disciplines and institutions have their own ways of imagining and interpreting data (as Gitelman and Jackson, 2013, describe). Our task was to design a survey to find out how students use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, CoPilot, Image Creator, Grammarly, and translation software like JotME or Wordly. My group worked on Scenario 1: Company-led Data Collection. In this scenario, we imagined ourselves as user researchers at a generative AI start-up, collecting and analysing data about students’ AI usage habits to discover market opportunities for a new product.
