Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having a profound impact on education, rapidly
transforming the way we learn. According to Mohan, technology has always played a
vital role in education, and its integration has become more widespread due to the
different facets of education. Mohan acknowledges that there are challenges associated
with adopting technology in both students and teachers. However, he emphasizes that
the advantages and disadvantages of AI in education are not clear-cut, as there are
benefits on both sides. For instance, AI can provide equal access to education for
students of varying abilities and disabilities, while also allowing parents to monitor
their child's online interactions more closely. In conclusion, Mohan highlights the

Statistical Treatment
Respondents were statistically examined using the study's data instrument. The
information was collated, analyzed, and compiled using descriptive statistics like
general average, and the types of AI learning platforms they use was analyzed using
their frequency and simple percentage formula. Simple percentage is a basic statistical
measure that is commonly used to express a simple and clear representation of the

The findings from Table 2.2 indicate that the use of machine learning software
tools can have both positive and mixed effects on students' time management. While
certain aspects, such as study schedules, utilizing free time, following a semester

suggests that machine learning software tools can sometimes influence students' time

This implies that the integration of machine learning software tools in students'
routines can have diverse implications for their time management abilities. While
certain aspects might benefit from occasional support, such as structuring study
schedules and utilizing available time effectively, students consistently report improved
outcomes in areas like timely submission of assignments and increased leisure time.

These contrasting results shed light on the complexities surrounding the use of
machine learning tools in education and highlight the need for further research to fully

Most of the respondents are female, and the use of Canva is very common, with
almost all of them using it. Additionally, Grammarly and Quillbot are also popular
among students. The responses indicate that the majority of the respondents use
various software applications and tools. Moreover, more than half of the respondents
spend an average of 1–5 hours per week on machine learning software tools, and it
shows that they are more engaged and experienced in using the technology, indicating

software tools help students learn at their own pace and style, which can
lead to a more efficient use of their time. These tools can analyze student's
performance and adjust the learning material to suit their strengths and
weaknesses. This way, students can focus on areas that they need more
improved grades. However, when used correctly, it can be a powerful tool for assisting
students in more effective learning and applying course material. Using machine
learning software tools can improve students' academic learning by increasing their
understanding of the subject matter. These tools can assist students in analyzing large
amounts of data, identifying patterns and trends, and making predictions. Students
can gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and theories being taught by using
these tools, which can help them apply them in their daily learning and may improve
