q2 · i? · associational · r2

Challenge rankings (Figure 5): accuracy was followed by "over -reliance on GenAI, reported by 65.36% of respondents"; 67.10% reported encountering inaccurate information frequently or very frequently (Figure 6b).

"The most prominent issue is the limited accuracy of GenAI-generated outputs, identified by 81.42% of respondents (Figure 5), far exceeding all other challenges."

Ethics and privacy results (Figure 7): 87.97% rated ethical issues important or very important, while 56.94% expressed satisfaction with privacy protection, 37.27% were neutral and 5.80% dissatisfied.

"an overwhelming 87.97% of respondents rated ethical issues as important or very important, with nearly half (48.52%) considering them very important."
