Abstract
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education continues to grow in popularity and as students are increasingly relying on these tools, especially ChatGPT, this research investigated the academic performance of Godfrey Okoye University undergraduate students and their relationship with ChatGPT. The focus of research is the frequency of its use, academic reasons why it is used, potential dangers of dependence, and overall impact on academic work of students. Descriptive survey research was used, where a structured questionnaire was applied to a sample size of 350 students who were taken as a part of a wider population of 2,825 students (Taro Yamane), at all levels of education. The analysis was computed by frequency counts and simple percentages of data collected. As the results indicated, the use of ChatGPT is widespread among students who often incorporate the tool in their weekly academic life. Writing an assignment, preparing to take a test or an examination, and learning a challenging subject are its responsibilities to an active extent. Although students have recognized how ChatGPT has assisted in increasing their grades, the speed at which they study, and academic confidence, many of them have conceded that they have become too dependent on the technology to the extent that they are using it when they do not need it or have not edited the work before submission. Nevertheless, the majority of students suggested using ChatGPT as the competent academic aid. The results suggest that Chat GPT has turned out to be an academic reality in the life of students and has led to improved learning as well as dangers such as academic laziness and plagiarism. To regulate the responsible and constructive use of ChatGPT in higher education, it is advisable to incorporate AI usage practices into the objectives of higher education and train universities on digital literacy and ethical use of the AI-based tool.
