Utilization of Artificial Intelligence Tools for Academic Learning: A Study among Students of Vikrama Simhapuri University

Abstract

This study examines the usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools among students of Vikrama Simhapuri University and their role in enhancing academic learning. The research investigates students' awareness, frequency of AI tool usage, purposes of use, perceived benefits, challenges, and ethical concerns. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to university students and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The findings indicate that most students regularly use AI tools for learning, assignments, language improvement, and information retrieval. While AI significantly supports personalized and efficient learning, concerns regarding accuracy, plagiarism, privacy, and overdependence remain. The study recommends promoting AI literacy, ethical guidelines, and institutional support to ensure the responsible and effective integration of AI in higher education.
