Abstract:
This research investigates the viewpoint of English as a Foreign Language (EFL)
students about using Artificial Intelligence (AI) as writing aids for their culminating
project. This study utilized a convenience sampling method to recruit 50 8th-semester
students from public and private colleges in North Sumatra, Indonesia, who were
completing their final assignments. Data was collected using open-ended
questionnaires and interview approaches, while data analysis was performed using
SPSS version 29.0. The results indicate that students favor the utilization of Artificial
Intelligence in the composition of their culminating assignment. Despite the scarcity of
Artificial Intelligence, it does not diminish their favorable perspective on the necessity
of employing Artificial Intelligence as a writing aid. Students' positive perception of
utilizing Artificial Intelligence in composing their final assignments influences the
efficacy and caliber of their written work. Hence, the favorable viewpoint expressed
by students regarding the utilization of Artificial Intelligence underscores the numerous
benefits these writing tools offer in the completion of their final projects.
