Abstract
Background: Artificial intelligence assistive tools are software or platforms that help human learning and education through machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and data analysis. despite the benefits of AI tools in education ,there is concern about the potential impact on essential student skills such as critical thinking and independent problem-solving along with broader ethical issues . Aims: This study to investigate the impact of AI assistive tools on academic students’ perceptions, critical thinking abilities, and academic performance, while also addressing their views on integrating AI-assisted learning into university curricula and the perceived consequences of its use in education in Egypt. Methods: A Cross-sectional study using a web-based Google Form survey, which included 16 questions, was used to collect the data. Results: A total of 214 Academic students completed the questionnaire. A large majority of students (95.3%) had prior exposure to AI tools. Among the frequent users of AI tools, the majority of the students believed that academic performance and problem-solving skills was positively impacted by AI . Furthermore, there is strong consensus among students regarding the integration of AI-assisted learning into university curriculums and the necessity for guidelines on responsible AI usage All results were statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: The findings from this study highlight the critical need for academic students to develop their ability to use AI tools effectively to enhance their skills, rather than hindering them through over-reliance. This can be supported by integrating AI-assisted learning into university curricula.
