The data published in this record was adopted in the following study: Exploring Higher Education students' experience with AI-powered educational tools: The case of an Early Warning System The study analyses the students' experience of an early warning system developed at a fully online university. The study is based on 21 semi-structured interviews that yielded a corpus of 21,761 words, for which a mixed inductive and deductive codification approach was applied after thematic analysis. We focused on 11 themes, 52 subthemes, and 396 coded segments to perform content analysis. Our findings revealed that the students, primarily senior workers with a high-level academic self-efficacy, had little experience with this type of system and low expectations about it. However, a usage experience triggered interest and meaningful reflections on the mentioned tool. Nevertheless, a comparative analysis between disciplines related to Computer Science and Economics showed higher confidence and expectation about the system and artificial intelligence overall by the first group. These results highlight the relevance of supporting students' further experiences and understanding of artificial intelligence systems in education to accept them and mainly to participate in iterative development processes of such tools to achieve quality, relevance, and fairness.
