Abstract

Integration and alignment of Artificial Intelligence AI in academic activities is the teaching learning excellence and strength of student’s achievement. Integration of Artificial Intelligence AI is also the capacity to rebuilt the student’s performance in order to maintain teaching effectiveness and capability to show excellency in academic. In education, alignment of Artificial Intelligence AI tools is very necessary for both student’s perspectives and teacher’s perspective also, because it enhances academic excellence in teaching learning environment. The objectives of the study were to; identify the tools of Artificial Intelligence AI that students are using in academic excellence, effects of Artificial Intelligence AI tools on students’ academic achievement, compare the performance before and after using Artificial Intelligence AI tools. The target population was all the public and private universities that were located in the City Lahore. The accessible population was the one public and one private university were the University of Lahore and the University of Management and Technology. Through stratified sampling techniques, 200 students were selected from both universities. The self-developed questionnaire was used for the study. After the pilot-testing of the research tools, the data were analyzed through statistical tests. After the data collection the results were interpreted that after using the AI tools the students’ performance as compatibly better. It results was also reveals that the using of AI tools it was comprehensively better then without using this. The students improved their academic through AI tools, and their performance was much better. Both university students have used the AI tools in their studies.
