This study examines the role of AI tools in shaping students’ study habits and academic outcomes, focusing on their integration into educational routines. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining survey data and qualitative feedback from 141 students across diverse demographics and disciplines. Key findings reveal a moderate level of AI usage, with 57% of students utilizing AI tools for 26-50% of their study time. AI tools were reported to enhance efficiency, motivation, and GPA while reducing study hours. Despite these benefits, challenges such as over-reliance and integration with traditional methods were identified. The study underscores the importance of a balanced approach to AI adoption, advocating for its role as a complementary tool alongside conventional study practices. Actionable recommendations include promoting responsible usage, addressing privacy concerns, and fostering inclusivity to maximize AI’s educational potential.
