Abstrak

AI has transformed the educational landscape of college students with the rapid development of artificial intelligence. It seeks to study the role of technology in facilitating the access of knowledge, learning behavior, and critical thinking in digital literacy during the AI era. This project is qualitative descriptive and focuses on digital literacy as viewed from the perspective of literature and other studies. This data indicates that the use of AI tools, such as ChatGPT and adaptive learning applications, has positively impacted the student’s ability to search for, retrieve and apply information. But, data ethics, plagiarism and critical assessment of AI-generated content are still daunting challenges. This presentation highlights the importance of linking AI literacy into higher education instruction to foster students' critical awareness and appropriate use of digital technologies. This study concludes that digital literacy in AI times must go beyond technical proficiency and focus on skills that are critical, ethical and creative that can serve the needs of future learning environments.
