The purpose of this study is to explore learners' and instructors' perceptions of AI-based technologies in higher education. 97 participants(learners: 61, L2 instructors: 36) participated in an online survey on academic integrity issues related to AI-based tools in educational settings. There were two research questions posed in the study. In the first question, five key factors were identified: attitudes toward AI-based tools, concerns about these tools, possible challenges, potential threats, and possible benefits. In relation to the second question, a one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in perceptions concerning AI-based tools and potential threats, with learners and instructors showing distinct perspectives. Participants were keenly aware of the benefits and challenges of AI technologies, emphasizing the need for continuous training in their use. Consequently, in Korea, it calls for the development of flexible, culturally relevant guidelines that align with legal and regulatory standards, involving a range of stakeholders to ensure academic integrity. Research limitations and research directions were discussed further.
