Comparative analysis of survey challenge-prevalence and AI-usage items (Figure 2). The survey of 60 international students shows the mismatch: "although only 29% of students reported experiencing logistical difficulties, 86% reported using AI for logistical tasks." The authors attribute this to the high-stakes, on-demand nature of logistical tasks.

"although only 29% of students reported experiencing logistical difficulties, 86% reported using AI for logistical tasks, making it the most common domain of AI"
