<![CDATA[The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has accelerated its adoption in education as a learning resource, instructional medium, and tool for completing academic tasks. AI facilitates access to information and supports idea generation; however, its impact on students' learning motivation and creativity remains a subject of ongoing debate. This study aimed to examine the effect of AI utilization on students' learning motivation and creativity. A quantitative approach employing an ex post facto correlational design was adopted. The study population consisted of 410 students, from which 203 participants were selected using the Slovin formula and the Proportional Stratified Random Sampling technique. Data were collected through a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The findings revealed that AI utilization had a positive and statistically significant effect on students' learning motivation (t = 9.985, p < 0.05) and creativity (t = 8.863, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the MANOVA results indicated a significant simultaneous effect of AI utilization on both learning motivation and creativity (Pillai's Trace = 0.340; Wilks' Lambda = 0.660; F = 51.581; p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that AI utilization positively influences students' learning motivation and creativity, both individually and simultaneously. Therefore, AI should be integrated into the learning process in a thoughtful and responsible manner to enhance students' motivation, foster creativity, and improve overall learning quality. Abstrak Pesatnya perkembangan Artificial Intelligence (AI) telah mendorong pemanfaatannya dalam pendidikan sebagai sumber belajar, media pembelajaran, dan sarana penyelesaian tugas. AI memberikan kemudahan akses informasi dan mendukung pengembangan ide, namun juga memunculkan perdebatan mengenai pengaruhnya terhadap motivasi dan kreativitas siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh penggunaan AI terhadap motivasi dan kreativitas siswa. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain ex post facto dan jenis penelitian korelasional. Populasi berjumlah 410 siswa, dengan sampel 203 siswa yang ditentukan menggunakan rumus Slovin dan teknik Proportional Stratified Random Sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket yang telah memenuhi uji validitas dan reliabilitas, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan regresi linear sederhana dan Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan AI berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap motivasi siswa (t = 9,985; p = 0,000 < 0,05) serta kreativitas siswa (t = 8,863; p = 0,000 < 0,05). Uji MANOVA juga menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan AI terhadap motivasi dan kreativitas secara simultan dengan nilai Pillai’s Trace = 0,340, Wilks’ Lambda = 0,660, F = 51,581, dan p = 0,000 < 0,05. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan AI berpengaruh positif terhadap motivasi dan kreativitas siswa sehingga pemanfaatannya perlu diarahkan secara bijaksana untuk mendukung kualitas pembelajaran.]]>
