<![CDATA[This study aims to explore the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing students' debating skills. The research employs a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consists of 115 students from Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. Data were collected through debate skill tests and analyzed using prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity) and hypothesis testing (t-test). The results reveal that the experimental group, which utilized AI-based platforms, demonstrated a significant improvement in debating skills compared to the control group employing conventional methods. The posttest mean score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group, with a probability level of 0.000 (p < 0.05). These findings confirm the effectiveness of AI in improving students' debating skills, particularly in argumentation, information management, and idea delivery. This study offers valuable contributions to technology-based pedagogy, especially in teaching speaking skills. Recommendations include further development of AI platforms to support other learning activities.]]>
