Abstract

This study aimed to investigate how AI impacts students’ intrinsic motivation and learning experiences in various cultural and academic settings. An analysis of the effects of AI-powered learning tools on intrinsic motivation and learning enhancement was conducted in early 2024. As a result of enhancing learning experiences, autonomy, and critical thinking skills, AI tools were found to positively influence motivation. Motivation, however, was not significantly influenced by academic level. Despite ethical concerns, students held a moderately positive view of artificial intelligence in education. Further research on optimal AI implementation and ethical considerations in education is necessary based on these findings
