Students’ Perception About the Role of Artificial Intelligence for Quality Research

Abstract

Artificial intelligence has made notable advances in academic settings in recent years. This research aims to understand students’ perspectives on how AI tools may enhance scholarly work and explore students’ assessments of AI’s role in cultivating rigorous research trends among university graduates. The population studied included male and female students attending the Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Govt. Sadiq Women University, Bahawalpur, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Women University Multan. For this study, a convenience sampling technique was used. From each university, 150 students were selected conveniently. In this, the total sample size was 600.   The researcher visited the data site personally. Upon receiving approval from the chairman of the concerned department, each respondent was given a copy of the questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed among male and female students. The return rate of the questionnaire was 90%.  Using SPSS software, data were analyzed by applying the frequency test, mean score, and standard deviation in accordance with the study’s requirements. The majority of the respondents, 93.3% agreed with the statement that artificial intelligence provides a significant opportunity for quality research work. It was concluded that the majority of the students said artificial intelligence provides significant opportunities for quality research work. The use of AI helps me to find new approaches to quality research and also helps me to stay current with the new developments in my thesis work. It was recommended that Universities should incorporate AI tools and techniques into research methodologies across disciplines.
