Claims

C1strongest claim

Our findings show that AI is perceived as a first-aid tool for immediate challenges, however, there is an interest in transforming AI from a tool for short-term help into a long-term support companion.

C2weakest assumption

The sample of 60 survey respondents and 14 interviewees sufficiently represents the diversity of international students' experiences and AI usage patterns across US institutions.

C3one line summary

Survey and interview study finds international students view conversational AI as short-term first-aid for cross-cultural challenges with interest in long-term companion use.
