Abstract

Introduction: the development of Artificial Intelligence technology is increasing in the world of higher education, including ethical practices and the formation of student abilities. Objectives: this research aims to assess the implementation of AI in ethics education and student empowerment in higher education. Method: using quantitative methods, this research conducted a survey with a questionnaire given to students at several universities that have used AI as a learning support. The collected data was then analyzed using linear regression with statistical tests to assess the differences and correlations between AI implementation variables and the level of ethical understanding and improvement in student abilities. Results: from the results obtained, the implementation of AI has a positive influence on students’ ethical practices with an X correlation (p < 0,05) found, with a significant increase in preventing plagiarism, ethics-based simulations, and increasing awareness of academic values. Apart from that, AI also has a positive influence on improving students’ skills. It was also found that AI facilitates increasing skills for critical thinking, problem solving, and independence and X (p < 0,05). Conclusion: this study found that reliance on AI in ethics and skills education practices resulted in reduced interaction and thinking in student learning. Based on this conclusion, this study states that the application of Artificial Intelligence in higher education provides high benefits in ethics and skills learning.
