Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in education has changed the way students learn and complete academic assignments. This research aims to explore students' experiences in interpreting the authenticity of learning when using AI in academic work. The research uses a qualitative approach with a semi-structured interview method with students who use AI tools in academic activities. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis to identify students' perceptions and experiences regarding the use of AI. The results show that AI helps improve learning efficiency, generating ideas, and understanding complex concepts. However, over-reliance has the potential to reduce critical thinking involvement and a sense of ownership of academic work. Therefore, clear guidelines for the use of AI in education are needed so that this technology can support a learning process that remains authentic and with integrity
