This study aimed to analyze the effect of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) ChatGPT and learning independence, both partially and simultaneously, on the learning motivation of tenth-grade students in Economics at SMA Negeri 3 Pontianak. This research employed a quantitative approach using an ex-post facto research design. The population consisted of 130 tenth-grade students, while the sample comprised 90 students selected using the Isaac and Michael table with a 5% significance level. Data were collected through a questionnaire that had met the validity and reliability requirements. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, and linearity tests, followed by hypothesis testing using the t-test and F-test. The results showed that: (1) the t-test for the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) ChatGPT on learning motivation yielded a t-value of 2.885, which was greater than the t-table value of 1.660, with a significance value of 0.005 < 0.05, indicating that H₁ was accepted; (2) the t-test for learning independence on learning motivation produced a t-value of 13.044, exceeding the t-table value of 1.660, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that H₂ was accepted; and (3) the F-test revealed that the simultaneous effect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) ChatGPT and learning independence on learning motivation resulted in an F-value of 108.246, which was higher than the F-table value of 3.09, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that H₃ was accepted, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.697. The findings indicate that the effective use of AI ChatGPT, supported by students' learning independence, can significantly enhance learning motivation in Economics. Therefore, the integration of AI-based learning tools with the development of independent learning skills has the potential to become an effective instructional strategy for improving the quality of the teaching and learning process as well as students' learning outcomes.
