Abstract

This study investigated the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) writing tools on essay writing skills of students in senior secondary schools in Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State. Three research questions were formulated to guide the study. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by Davis, Bagozzi, and Warshaw (1980) served as the theory of the study. This study adopted descriptive survey research design. The population of the study is 2067. The sample size was 200. The instrument used for the data collection were structured questionnaire. The reliability coefficient yielded 0.93 using Cronbach Alpha method. The data collected was analyzed using mean score and standard deviation. The finding of the study revealed that integrating AI into essay writing skill is a milestone in education, particularly for the many gains it yields, despite the challenges associated with this integration. The following recommendations were made: Institutions should develop comprehensive AI usage guidelines that delineate appropriate boundaries for AI assistance in academic writing. Regular professional development programs should be implemented to equip educators with the necessary skills for effective AI integration in writing instruction. Writing assessment criteria should be updated to acknowledge and account for AI tool usage while maintaining academic integrity standards.
