machine learning, natural language processing, and data analytics are being integrated into
large datasets, AI-powered educational platforms can offer tailored content, feedback, and
This study holds the potential benefits and threats of using artificial intelligence (AI) in
academic performance among college students. By identifying potential threats like excessive
reliance on technology we can proactively address challenges and minimize their negative
impact. Similarly, recognizing the advantages such as personalized learning enables us to fully
leverage AI's potential to enhance academic performance. By understanding the threats and
prominent educational institution situated on Polillo Island, Philippines. SLSU Polillo is one of
the 11 branches of the Southern Luzon State University system, it offers the Bachelor of
Elementary Education (BEED) program as its sole course. As the only university on Polillo
Island, SLSU Polillo serves as the primary educational option for students residing on the island.
One gap that exists in the current research is the limited knowledge and investigation into
how AI technologies specifically affect the academic performance of college students. There is a
need for further exploration to understand the specific ways in which AI impacts students'
academic outcomes so that educators can make informed decisions about incorporating AI in the
learning process.
local universities had a positive impact on academic performance and student learning outcomes.
The utilization of AI tools, such as intelligent tutoring systems and personalized learning
platforms, led to improved student achievement, heightened engagement, and more customized
instructional experiences. Dela Cruz, R., Ramirez, L., & Gonzales, J. (2019) stated that students
who actively engaged with AI tools exhibited higher scores on assessments, improved retention
of knowledge, and enhanced critical thinking abilities compared to their peers who did not have
However according to Santiago, Hernandez, and Cruz (2020), relying heavily on AI tools
may hinder students' independent learning and reduce their ability to think creatively and
analytically. Lim, S., Cruz, A., & Reyes, P. (2021) suggesting that while some students benefited
from AI-assisted instruction, others experienced challenges and limitations. Factors such as
student readiness, the nature of the course, and individual learning styles played a significant role
Due to the increasing usage of artificial intelligence (AI) among college students of
SLSU, we have undertaken this study to gain understanding of its appropriate usage and the
Understanding how using artificial intelligence (AI) affects the academic performance of
college students is important for several reasons. First, AI can personalize learning by providing
allowing students to learn anytime and anywhere. Third, studying the impact of AI on academic
performance helps develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Lastly, addressing

& Marzuki (2023) The central aim of this study was to offer an in-depth understanding of EFL
students' perceptions concerning critical thinking and the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in
this context. Our research revealed that EFL students regard critical thinking as a multifaceted
discipline, involving elements like questioning norms, analyzing context, and evaluating
evidence. They acknowledge the utility of AI in enhancing various facets of critical thinking,
such as academic research, theory scrutiny, and experimental design. Despite this, they also
expressed concerns about the limitations of AI. These include issues like lack of personalization,
risk of echo chambers, and challenges in nuanced understanding. The study implies that while Al
can be a powerful tool for enhancing critical thinking skills, it is not without drawbacks that need
to be carefully managed.

As artificial intelligence (Al) continues to increase its presence and accessibility within
education, the need to address Al's impact on assignment design and the production of original
coursework is heightened. Within the context of an undergraduate language and culture course,
this chapter thus offers reflections on the integration of Al tools and their effect on shaping
assessment methods. The authors also highlight that there indeed remains a great need for
continued research in the realm of Al and education going forward, especially where enhanced

Theoretical Framework
This study is anchored in the theory of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed
by Fred Davis in the late 1980s. TAM falls within the realm of information systems and
behavioral sciences. According to Davis, TAM is based on the belief that users' acceptance and
usage of technology are influenced by their perceptions of its usefulness and ease of use.
Perceived Usefulness, the first aspect of TAM, refers to the degree to which individuals
believe that using AI tools will enhance their academic performance. It encompasses their
experiences, and provide valuable support in their studies. Students' perceptions of usefulness
can significantly impact their acceptance and adoption of AI tools. Perceived Ease of Use, the
second aspect of TAM, pertains to the extent to which individuals find AI tools user-friendly,
accessible, and easy to navigate. It encapsulates their beliefs about the ease with which they can
interact with AI tools, understand their functionalities, and integrate them into their learning
processes. Students' perceptions of ease of use can affect their willingness to embrace and utilize
Applying TAM to this research, it is posited that students' acceptance and usage of AI
tools at SLSU-Polillo will be influenced by their perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.
When students perceive AI tools as beneficial and user-friendly, they are more inclined to adopt
and incorporate them into their learning practices, ultimately impacting their academic
performance.
By examining the factors that shape students' perceptions of usefulness and ease of use,
and understanding their relationship with academic engagement and learning outcomes, this
study aims to elucidate the role of AI in enhancing academic performance among SLSU-Polillo
