Abstract
The increasing usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in academic learning has completely changed the way students build and deliver their creativity. This abstract mainly examines the impact of AI tools on students’ creativity by combining findings from multiple studies taken place in digital learning environments. AI tools are majorly used by students for innovative and unique academic activities such as idea generating, content creation, completion of assignment, and project development. These tools help students by providing quick access to information, give ideas suggestions and support the students in creative and better ways in their academic learning.
Research findings showcase that AI tools will have a positive influence on students’ creativity in academic learning when it is used in a limited and purposeful manner. Moderate use of AI tools encourages students to explore new ideas. However, the studies also point out certain negative effects when AI tools are used unthoughtfully or unethically. Excessive dependence in AI tools may limit the creativity and originality in their academic related works and personal contribution will reduce Feedback from students indicates lower personal contribution and reduced ownership of creative work when AI tools are heavily used for academic tasks, The overall findings give suggestions that there should be proper guidance and ethical use of AI tools in academics. AI tools should be a supportive resource rather than substitute for human creativity. Educators should motivate the students to use AI tools responsibly while making the personal contribution remain constant. In conclusion, AI tools have a positive impact on students' creativity in academic learning but balanced and ethical use of AI tools is necessary to sustain the originality of students' thinking in their academic learning.
