Abstract

This study investigates how the second-year communication students from Far Eastern University- Manila in the academic year 2023-2024 perceives artificial intelligence (AI) tools and its effects to their learning, specifically their dependency on it, how it benefits them, and what potential risks they are facing. This study looks into the way AI is integrated in education and the influence of AI tools like ChatGPT, Grammarly, Quillbot, Brainly, and Scribbr. The research question was answered using a descriptive design and quantitative approach. Additionally, collected data are from purposive samples of thirty-five (35) communication students who are surveyed to determine their usage of reliance on and perception towards artificial intelligence tools. The results showed that mostly, AI tools are employed for writing help such as paraphrasing and grammar checking with most of them finding these tools useful in dealing with complex problems and enhancing their productivity. Additionally, it shows that students are using AI tools without being too much dependent on it. Thus, this can be related to their perception that AI tools makes errors/mistakes and violates their privacy.
