Abstract:
In the 21st century, artificial intelligence has become increasingly important in various areas, including education. Chat GPT, created by Open AI, is a powerful tool that reaches 1 million users in just five days, much faster than Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. This is particularly popular among university undergraduates, and is the top choice among AI tools for creating content. The educational approach prioritizes general skills, such as creativity, and promotes collaborative learning through real-world problem solving in classrooms. Studying the impact of Chat GPT on the creativity of university undergraduates is important, because they are at a pivotal point in their education and career development. As undergraduates use the Chat GPT more for assignments and research activities, it is crucial to understand how it affects their creativity. University undergraduates represent a unique group owing to their distinct characteristics, including their educational background, advanced thinking skills, creativity, and potential future career paths. An online questionnaire was used to collect data from five state universities, using a stratified sampling technique. The selected sample size was 382, and 416 responses were received. Consequently, all collected responses were included in the
subsequent analyses of descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression. The findings
revealed that Chat GPT has a positive relationship with creativity among university
undergraduates. This study offers valuable insights for educational institutions, policymakers, undergraduates, and school students to integrate Chat GPT into the academic environment and suggests implementing monitoring techniques.
