This study aims to explore the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) implementation on students' learning interest at UIN Imam Bonjol Padang and their perceptions of this technology. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation and surveys from 25 students and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that AI enhances students' understanding of learning materials (52%) and engagement in class discussions (68%). However, its influence on learning motivation remains low (36%), and its effectiveness for complex tasks, such as final projects, is limited. Criticism also highlights the potential dependency on AI, which may reduce students' self-evaluation abilities. The study concludes that while AI effectively supports understanding and participation in learning, further development is needed to boost learning motivation and mitigate the risks of technological dependency.
