Is Artificial Intelligence Helpful to Students?
Artificial intelligence has significantly impacted educational system, it offers a various tool so that
students in their study journey will be that effortless. Artificial intelligence have the ability to answer any form
of questions and be able to generate essays, research paper or any academic paper topics that most likely done
by a student. In the field of education, it is said that artificial intelligence can enhance learning and improve the
abilities of every students by providing an information artificially and tutoring tools, such as grammar checker
and writing skills. This efficiency will help Students identify what areas do they need improvement. However,
some researchers claimed that artificial intelligence result to laziness and being dependent on the AI functions.
Some Researchers found out that AI affect Students learning and interdependence. According to the study
conducted by Johnson (2018), the usage of AI, has result to a decrease critical thinking that self made are
probably erased. Furthermore, every students who rely on using AI tools interms of their learning does indeed
lower the Students productivity instead of improving and enhancing their skills whether they have the capability
of doing so.
Despite its negative impact, the development of AI actually is to enhance student skills as well as to
narrow Students knowledge as it serve as an assistant tool wherein developer believes that someday it makes
change in the future. It said that AI tools is that important for it provide all the necessities in learning such as: to
calculate solving problems as well as it give instant answers on various questions you would likely to be
answered. However, the actual expecting result within developing this tool is the opposite considering its
consequences. According to a study conducted by DeMonbrun (2020), the integration of AI in classrooms has
led to a decrease in critical thinking skills and self-directed learning among students. If Students reliant and
dependent to AI then, it can lead to slow and leisure solving problem ability, evidencing the study by Johnson
(2019) found that students who heavily rely on AI tools for problem-solving tasks tend to have reduced
problem-solving skills and creativity. Another thing is they may not develop their skills to analyze and solve
problems on their own. While they say that AI is about improvement and assistant for Students learning well,
there are teachers who can probably fulfill it, their role is to guide and help Students learn more. By relying only
in AI, definitely students will become dumb instead of improving.
While it is correct that AI can provide quick answers and solutions it is important to keep in mind that
the reason for developing this kind of artificial intelligence is to assist and not to misuse its function, the thing
is each and everyone is getting reliant and being dependent on its function. If every Students will continuously
do it, no doubt that everyone will be influence. This absence of human connection can limit students’ holistic
development and hinder their ability to engage in meaningful learning experiences ( Anderson 2018). In
addition, technology will be the center of everything that possible if adopted everyone is in controlled by the
innovation developed. So, everyone should encourage Students to analyze, and evaluate problem by themselves.
Everyone should Know their limitations, as AI aim is to assist then, each and everyone should use it
appropriately and correctly.
In conclusion, as AI offers the potential to assist learners and researchers, it is important to note that it
has limitations and if care is not taken, surely everyone will face the consequences. Being reliance on AI can
hinder student productivity by lacking of improving critical thinking skills and problem solving. Therefore, it is
important to balance the use of AI tools, doing independent thinking and problem-solving skills among
students should be. By doing so, we can ensure that AI is truly helpful to students without compromising their
overall productivity and growth.
