Shemina Hamsa Palliyalil, Nora Mariam Alex & S Vaishnavi Raj

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the recent significant technological improvements that affect a range of industries, such as education. The paper analyzes how AI applications are used by higher education learners in Kochi City. The study aims at learning the role of AI tools in academic performance of students, their knowledge of the subject and how the ease of use of AI tools affects their use. The research is premised on the primary data where 120 college students took part in the research based on a structured questionnaire on the basis of convenience sampling. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS with statistical tools like descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis. Cronbach's Alpha was used to assess the consistency of the questionnaire and showed internal consistency of the questionnaire. The results show that AI tools are popular among learners when it comes to academic tasks like information research, writing papers, brainstorming and editing. Another essential finding is that there is a strong positive correlation between the ease of use of AI tools and their use. Moreover, the application of AI has a positive effect on the knowledge of the subject and academic performance of the student group. The research arrives at the conclusion that academic achievements in higher learning can be improved through efficient adoption of AI devices and improved learning experiences.
