The Current State of AI Utilization in Learning: A Case Study at the University of Information Technology and Communications - Thai Nguyen University

Abstract

In the era of rapid technological advancement, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in education, offering personalized learning experiences, improving efficiency, and fostering student autonomy. This study investigates the utilization of AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, in learning activities at the University of Information Technology and Communications - Thai Nguyen University. A mixed-methods quantitative approach was employed, involving surveys of 240 students across different academic levels. The results highlight a high adoption rate of AI tools, with significant benefits such as enhanced efficiency and accessibility to diverse learning resources. However, challenges such as accuracy concerns, ethical issues, and over-reliance on AI were identified. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions, including digital literacy training, ethical guidelines, and infrastructure development, to optimize AI integration in higher education. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and educators aiming to enhance the effectiveness of AI in learning.
