Pengaruh penggunaan Artificial Intelligence terhadap Efektifitas penyelesaian Tugas Akhir Mahasiswa

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes to the field of education, particularly in supporting students in completing their final projects. This study aims to analyze the effect of Artificial Intelligence usage on the effectiveness of undergraduate students' final project completion at Bina Adinata Institute of Technology and Business. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method by collecting data through a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 47 students selected using purposive sampling. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis based on five indicators: AI usage intensity, ease of AI use, AI utilization for information retrieval, AI utilization for academic writing, and AI output quality. The results indicate that the majority of respondents agreed and strongly agreed with all research indicators. AI was perceived as helpful in searching for information, finding references, understanding research materials, improving grammar, organizing final project content, and providing information relevant to research topics, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of final project completion. The findings imply that Artificial Intelligence can serve as an effective supporting technology to improve students' productivity and the quality of final project writing. However, AI should be used responsibly by balancing it with critical thinking skills, verification of information through credible academic sources, and adherence to academic integrity to maintain the quality of scientific work.
