The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in education provides various benefits for students in obtaining information, completing assignments, and improving learning effectiveness. AI enables students to access learning materials more quickly, practically, and efficiently, leading to its increasing use in higher education. This study aims to analyze the influence of AI use on learning effectiveness and students' level of technology dependence. Limited studies have examined the impact of AI on both learning effectiveness and technology dependence simultaneously. This study employed a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to students and was supported by a literature review of related journals. The collected data were analyzed using statistical techniques to identify relationships among variables. The results indicate that AI has a positive effect on learning effectiveness, particularly in improving the speed of information acquisition, understanding of learning materials, and efficiency in completing assignments. However, intensive AI use may also increase students' dependence on technology in the learning process. Therefore, AI should be used wisely and appropriately to support students' critical thinking skills and independent learning.
