(Singh, 2024). It is documented that, Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are
often used interchangeably, but machine learning is a subset of the broader category of
AI. Thus, in context, the word artificial intelligence refers to the general ability of
computers to emulate human thought and, therefore, perform given tasks in real-world
environments.
In the 21st century, when the world is moving at a speed beyond imagination,
everything needs a massive update to be in the race (Dhara ,2022). From tech
industries to the business world, the health sector to military organizations, everything is
getting updated with the new-coming technologies, often profiting like never before.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one such tool helping everything to advance faster than ever
before. We are edging towards a world where robots will play an important role with

understanding.
Similar to this end, Chiu et al. (2023) have carried out a deep examination of the
specific roles artificial intelligence plays during the learning process, pointing out
precisely four crucial areas where it really makes a difference. First, there is AI-based
task delegation, referring to conditions in which all tasks are completely automated and
directly attuned to suit each learner's actual needs. Second, there is learner-machine
stimulating dialogues with an AI system so that the concepts at hand are much better
understood by the learner. Third, there is real-time feedback, which allows learners to
receive both instant and constructive responses on their work so that adjustments and
improvements could be really effective. Last but not least is adaptive digital
environments wherein AI takes the initiative and therefore adjusts learning pathways
enhancing the overall learning experience. When combined, these various functions
clearly illustrate the remarkable potential that artificial intelligence holds in bringing

One of the very essential features of AI powered learning is the simulation of real-life
situations, which forms a vital learning tool of this learning program. Under this concept,
the students carry out several group learning projects that are as close as possible to
real-life challenges they could face in actual workplaces. Through this active exposure

However, AI integration in the learning environment also possess some critical
benefits and improvements of learning experience through AI may also distract with
serious consequences for student academic success. This risk is even more prominent
with students who are not on a smooth ride with their pursuit of education as they may
face much difficulty retaining their concentration or using facilities that AI avails to aid
them in their attempt to learn. This shows that there is a caution and balance in

drawbacks.
credence to the proposition that generative AI demarcates that next critical frontier for
the future of learning, and, therefore, is enabled to support a much more effective or
personalized way of learning by all students. Almufarreh also states that to what extent
students can adapt and enjoy using generative AI tools is to a large extent affected by
their inherent levels of knowledge as well as the specific needs introduced by the tasks
they are conducting. This comment underscores the role which customization plays in
tailoring AI applications to meet different student requirements so that each learner can
fully exploit the opportunities presented by these novel tools for enriching and improving
13
learning experiences, adapting methods of teaching to the needs of particular students,
enhancing educator training, and providing targeted supports for students who may
have specific learning issues. These advances suggest that AI has a plethora of
potential applications for improving educational outcomes and closing gaps in learning.
However, the authors insist on the utmost importance given to critical thought over
problems and limits facing AI in education. The most important concerns are to do with
undermining the role of the educator because dependency on AI might bring human
interaction into the background and mentorship into extinction. In addition, there is a risk
access to technologies. There are also more significant issues that have been raised
regarding potential impacts of artificial intelligence on the creativity and critical thinking
of students. In conclusion, one can increasingly come to the conclusion that a student
potentially relies too much on AI for answers to problems they have, thereby preventing
them from functioning through processes that develop their unique ideas and solutions.

regarding academic integrity. The capacity for AI-assisted cheating, whereby students’
complete assignments or sit for exams by using ChatGPT without serious effort,
threatens to devalue hard-won learning experiences. With such anxieties in view, a few
educational institutions have made policies that ban ChatGPT in campuses for the
purpose of upholding academic integrity and thwart possible maluses. However, this
policy also underscores the need for holistic measures that promote responsible AI
technology usage. Educators and educational institutions are increasingly tasked with
creating assessments that feature more meaningful thinking, creativity, and hands-on
results even harder to avoid. This conflict in exploiting the benefits of AI and mitigating
the risks it brings speaks to the persistent challenge of responsibly integrating advanced
The modern AI revolution divided its impacts into two bifurcated aspects: the
opportunities and challenges, which the academic community and more stakeholders
have to face around the world (Illingworth, 2023). On the positive side, these

apparently authentic yet generated by AI systems. This malpractice not only devalues
the real learning process but also raises ethical issues regarding the authenticity and
origination of academic outputs. Tzoneva's comments call up the need for proactive
measures, like initiation of policies to regulate the use of AI in learning, along with a
robust mechanism for its detection and predisposition of a culture towards ethical use of
AI in such manners that its benefits are responsibly brought without compromising the

authors are concerned that such technology may make the students overly reliant,

and self-thought. The need for balanced methods towards responsible usage by the

Theoretical Framework
Acceptance Model (TAM), which was developed by Fred Davis in 1986. TAM is a
conceptual model explaining the processes through which people arrive at accepting
and using technology. It identifies two major factors driving technology adoption:
perceived usefulness (PU), as the degree to which a person feels that the use of a
technology will increase their performance, and perceived ease of use (PEOU), as the
23
degree to which a person feels the use of technology does not involve much effort.
These two factors have a strong influence on an individual's attitude toward technology,
their intention to use it, and finally, their actual use behavior. The extensive use of TAM
The relevance of TAM to this study is based on its ability to explain the
relationship between the use of AI tools and the academic performance of college
students. By studying how students judge the usefulness and ease of use of AI tools like
Grammarly, Quillbot, and ChatGPT, this study aims to determine the influence of these
judgments on the adoption and use of AI tools in their studies. If students find AI tools
useful and easy to use, they are more likely to adopt these technologies, which can lead
to better academic performance. However, if students find the tools difficult to use or not
suitable for their needs, their adoption and the resulting impact on performance may be
The interaction between the variables under study in this research aligns with the

After the validation exercise, the researchers will officially request permission

will require active enrollment in their respective programs and regular use of AI tools for
academic purposes like writing, research, data analysis, and task management.
