Abstrakt: This study addresses the debate in popular and academic circles about the role of generative artificial intelligence (GAI), "the new kid on the block," popularized by platforms like ChatGPT in educational settings. The present study utilizes the technology acceptance model to explore the factors influencing students' behavioral intention to use GAI in academic settings and the effects of using GAI on the performance of student project teams. The study is based on a sample of 830 global virtual teams that worked on an international business consulting project and comprised 3,411 students from 86 countries, thereby addressing calls for reliance on larger, more diverse samples and longitudinal research design. The findings reveal that for a project team to benefit from GAI, there is no need for all team members to be versed in this technology; it is usually sufficient that only one member is proficient with GAI. Moreover, both users and non-users of GAI agree that GAI can be employed ethically in academic settings. The study highlights that educators and institutional policymakers should consider not only the acceptance and proficiency in using GAI, but also attitudes toward the ethics of using GAI in this context.
