PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TERHADAP BERFIKIR KRITIS MAHASISWA

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is growing, including among students. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of AI on students' critical thinking skills. Critical thinking is an important competency that students must have in facing global challenges. With the development of AI technology, students can now access various sources of information quickly and easily. However, the impact of the use of AI on critical thinking skills is not entirely clear. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various journals and related articles. Several studies have shown that AI can accelerate the learning process and provide in-depth data analysis, but there is a negative impact that dependence on technology can reduce students' ability to think critically, creatively and independently. The results of the study show that although AI can enrich the learning process and facilitate data-based decision making, students need to be given special attention so as not to rely entirely on this technology in developing critical thinking skills. Therefore, the integration of AI in education needs to be accompanied by the development of learning methods that can encourage students to continue to train their analytical and reflective skills.
