A. Background of Study
Artificial Intelligence (AI), a branch of computer science, aims to enable machines to
mimic human intelligence and behavior. According to Kerr (2017), AI is defined as
the intelligence displayed by systems, machines, or programs. It empowers computers
to process large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.

This technology has become a hallmark of the Fourth Industrial Revolution

characterized by automation, data exchange, and widespread internet access to
information. Society 5.0, a concept emphasizing a human-centered approach,
integrates cyberspace and physical space using technological and economic
advancements to solve social issues.

In the field of education, the utilization of AI represents a key aspect of the Fourth
Industrial Revolution. Fahimirad and Kotamjani (2018) highlight the transformative
impact of innovative educational technology, particularly AI, on teaching and learning
methodologies in universities. To succeed in Society 5.0 during the Fourth Industrial
Revolution era, students need skills in utilizing automated systems, analyzing data,
and problem-solving.

The integration of AI in educational settings has seen significant growth and

exploration. Specifically, in English language learning, AI tools have been
increasingly used as aids to improve students' writing skills. These tools offer students
the opportunity to enhance their written communication abilities through personalized
feedback and guidance. With the evolving landscape of education and the potential
influence of AI on educational practices, it is important to explore the impact of AI
technology on the writing skills of English students at UIN Salatiga.
