    The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced the learning environment in higher education. The study examines the level of awareness, usage patterns, purposes, benefits, challenges, and ethical concerns related to AI tools among college students. The research was conducted based on primary data collected from a sample of 202 students of Rosary College of Commerce and Arts, Navelim, Goa, through a structured questionnaire using Google Forms. Convenience sampling and percentage analysis were used for data interpretation. The findings reveal that most students are highly familiar with AI tools, with ChatGPT being the most widely used platform. AI tools are mainly utilized for writing assignments, conducting research, preparing for examinations, and generating ideas. A majority of respondents believe that AI improves academic performance, enhances learning engagement, and reduces workload stress. However, the study also highlights major concerns such as overdependence on AI, reduced critical thinking, inaccurate information, and ethical issues including plagiarism and academic dishonesty. Despite these challenges, students generally view AI as a valuable learning support system when used responsibly. The study emphasizes the need for proper guidance, awareness programs, and institutional policies to promote ethical and balanced use of AI in academics. Overall, the research concludes that AI can positively contribute to students’ learning experiences if integrated thoughtfully and used with academic integrity.
