Abstract

This study, titled 'Assessing the Influence of AI Tools on the Academic Performance of Undergraduates in Enugu,' investigates the role of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, particularly ChatGPT, in shaping student learning outcomes. The specific objectives include determining the extent of AI tool usage among students, identifying the primary purposes of use, examining students' perceptions, and assessing the influence of AI on study, reading, and research behavior. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population consists of 8,193 undergraduate students from University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus (UNEC), and Godfrey Okoye University (GOU). A sample size of 367 was determined using the Australian sample size calculator. A multi-stage sampling technique involving stratified, proportional, faculty-based stratified, and simple random sampling was employed. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation through SPSS version 23. Findings revealed widespread use of AI tools for paraphrasing, grammar correction, and research assistance. Students showed positive perceptions of AI, emphasizing its utility in enhancing comprehension and academic efficiency. The study concludes that AI tools significantly influence academic engagement and performance. It recommends institutional integration, clear policy frameworks, and structured training to ensure ethical and productive use of AI tools in academic environments.
