Abstract
Artificial intelligence tools are essential for effective time management. Given that many students work alongside their studies, saving and managing time effectively can significantly increase their efficiency. A total of 791 students from Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University took part in the study. Quantitative research methodology was chosen, enabling the authors to generalise the obtained results. The data were processed using the SPSS software package. This study aims to determine the impact of integrating artificial intelligence into the learning process on students' time management efficiency. The results of the study showed that artificial intelligence tools are important for effective time management. Respondents claimed that implementing artificial intelligence in the educational process contributes to effective task planning and prioritisation, reducing the time spent on education and increasing leisure time for other activities. However, integrating artificial intelligence into the educational process comes with challenges, despite the many benefits. Students often use various tools in violation of ethical norms. It is also worth noting that they are not taught how to use artificial intelligence tools wisely so as not to jeopardise academic integrity. Universities should educate both lecturers and students in the ethical use of such tools. Furthermore, universities must develop clear standards for the use of AI. The following hypotheses were formulated and tested in the paper using various statistical procedures. H1: Students who actively use artificial intelligence manage their time more effectively; H2: Using AI significantly reduces the time spent on completing tasks; H3: The effectiveness of time management through AI is significantly affected by its use in the learning process to facilitate time allocation, task planning and prioritisation, and increase leisure time; H4: Bachelor's, master's and doctoral students evaluate the overall impact of AI on their time management differently; H5: Using artificial intelligence in the learning process increases students' leisure time. Finally, relevant recommendations were developed. The study was limited in that only students from one university participated in the survey. To enable comparative analysis, the study should be expanded to include students from various universities.
