How is AI influencing your surveys and questions?

As a researcher, are we finding that open-ended questions might be the solutions, now that AI can provide analysis pretty quick? In a recent survey 45% of my respondents chose “Other” to describe themselves, rather than read or select my 6 predefined options.

I’m curious. Do you expect AI to change the way your formulate questions and answers?

This is a topic that we’ve been diving into ourselves! It likely won’t change the way we formulate questions and answers, but I expect it definitely have influence on our preferred survey modalities and how strict we have to be about vetting who is taking our online surveys. 

Here are some readings that I like that you may find to be helpful!

Agree with ​@AHammell .  It really hasn’t influenced the design or question types in our surveys, at least not yet.  Most of our students are only leaving short one to two sentence responses when we have an open ended question.  Could they be using AI content for that?  Sure.  I’ve also been more interested in training sessions on pushing mobile compatibility.
