IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an important technological tool in higher education, transforming the way students learn, conduct research, and complete academic tasks. This study examines the impact of Artificial Intelligence on postgraduate students by analyzing its usage, benefits, challenges, and overall perception among learners. Data were collected from 50 postgraduate students through a structured questionnaire.​The findings reveal that AI tools are widely used for assignments, research, examination preparation, and accessing study materials. Students generally perceive AI as beneficial for improving academic performance, enhancing learning efficiency, and supporting personalized learning. However, concerns regarding overdependence on technology, reduced critical thinking, plagiarism, and inaccurate information were also identified. The study concludes that Artificial Intelligence has a predominantly positive impact on postgraduate students, provided that it is used responsibly and supported by proper academic guidelines
