Utilization of Generative AI (ChatGPT) and its’ Implications for the Originality of Student Assignments
Abstract
This study examines the use of generative artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, and its impact on the originality of student assignments. The background of this study is driven by the increasing use of AI in higher education, which provides efficiency but raises concerns about academic integrity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the use of ChatGPT and the originality of student assignments. This study uses a non-experimental quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. Data were obtained through a questionnaire that had been validated by experts and tested for reliability and normality. The results showed that the research instrument was valid and reliable. Descriptive analysis showed that students generally considered ChatGPT useful in supporting their work while maintaining originality. Regression results show that the use of ChatGPT has a positive but statistically insignificant effect on the originality of assignments. These findings indicate that factors other than ChatGPT are more dominant in determining student originality. This study concludes that ChatGPT should be viewed as a supporting tool, not a determinant of academic integrity. This study emphasizes the importance of establishing ethical guidelines and academic supervision to ensure responsible AI utilization in higher education.
