The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Lecture World of VI Semester Students at STIT SB Pariaman

Abstract

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have brought significant changes in the world of higher education, including in the environment of the College of Tarbiyah Sheikh Burhanuddin (STIT SB) Pariaman. This study aims to examine the impact of the application of AI on the lecture process of 6th semester students, who are in the final stage of study and have a fairly complex academic load. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through observation, interviews, The results of the study show that the use of AI technologies, such as automatic writing applications, educational chatbots, and digital learning platforms, has had a positive impact in the form of increased learning efficiency, easy access to information, and support in preparing academic assignments. However, on the other hand, there are also challenges in the form of potential dependence on technology, decreased critical thinking skills, and ethical dilemmas in the use of AI for academic needs. Artificial intelligence makes a major contribution in supporting the learning process of students, but its use needs to be balanced with ethical awareness and fostering independent thinking skills so that its benefits can be optimized in the world of lectures.
