THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT ON THE ANALYTICAL ABILITY SKILLS OF GRADUATE STUDETNS AT (KUST) KOHAT

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education by giving students tools that make learning easier and enhance their cognitive ability skills. One of these tools, AI-ChatGPT, supports students in boosting their ability to analyze problems, solve them, and think critically. This study investigates how AI-ChatGPT impacts on the analytical ability of higher education students At KUST, Kohat. This study involved 160 graduate students who answered defined survey questionnaires. The data was analyzed using through SPSS software, which employed different statistical methods to understand relationships.

The study examined a strong positive relationship between the use of AI-ChatGPT and improved analytical skills of graduate students. AI-ChatGPT was found to contribute to 80.0 % of the variations in students' analytical capabilities. Moreover, it supports independent learning and cognitive growth in students.

Educational institutions have encouraged students to integrate AI-ChatGPT into their curriculums to enhance graduate students’ reasoning skills. Further research is needed to monitor changes over time and include various universities because the current study focused only on one university and relied on self-reported information.

In the age of AI, tools like AI-ChatGPT are essential for helping students acquire the analytical skills necessary for success both in academics and in their future careers.
