Author : Ishwarya J and Sunanda A
Abstract :
In higher education, artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly become a game-changing tool that is changing how students engage with academic content, study, and access knowledge. This study examines how artificial intelligence (AI) affects undergraduate education at Bangalore City University (BCU). Quantitative data was gathered using a mixed-methods strategy, which included semi-structured interviews with 50 participants and surveys given to 385 undergraduate students. The results show that academic writing, research, and test preparation are common uses for AI products like ChatGPT, Grammarly, and personalized learning platforms.
Although there are still issues with ethical use, plagiarism, and over-reliance, students believe AI can improve productivity and learning efficiency. In the paper's conclusion, suggestions are made for the responsible integration of AI in undergraduate education through institutional rules, digital literacy training, and AI-augmented pedagogy.
