The concept of education has been revolutionized by many factors, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, robotics, and blended learning. These factors, especially AI tools, have significantly impacted teaching and learning. Today, many questions have been raised by researchers, educators, parents, and students as well about the excessive use of AI tools and their conveniences (blessings) and inconveniences (curses) on students’ learning careers. These questions leave much to be investigated to fill the gap related to AI in language learning. Therefore, this research tries to focus on how AI is reshaping students’ learning processes. The study’s objectives are twofold: the first is to know how students perceive the use of AI in their learning and what factors influence their attitudes toward it. The second objective is to emphasize the ethical considerations that must be considered while utilizing AI to improve students’ academic performance, as well as how to handle these concerns effectively. A quantitative approach was adopted to analyze and interpret the results of the study. Eighty-six engineering students from the Hassan II Institute of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine in Rabat participated in the study. The results indicated that most students are moderately familiar with AI tools, and a smaller group is highly familiar. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool among students, and most students believe it can hurt their productivity if they use it too much. The results also bring significant contributions to students, educators, and parents as well.
