This study examines the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool usage on academic research and examines the challenges faced by undergraduate students look for when using these tools. The purpose of the study is to (1) assess the frequency and percentage of AI tools used in basic research among undergraduate students, (2) assess the challenges students encounter when using AI tools, and (3) examine the relationship between AI tools use and academic research performance. A total of 150 undergraduate students were selected through a convenient sampling technique. Findings revealed that 36.66% of students were basic AI tool users, 34.67% moderate users and 28.67% advanced users. Regarding challenges, 61.33% of students reported facing moderate difficulties, while 38.67% experienced high challenges when using AI tools. A strong positive correlation was found between AI tool usage and academic research performance (r = +0.85, p<0.01), indicating that greater use of AI tools is significantly associated with better research outcomes. These results highlight both the growing importance of AI in academic research and the need to address the obstacles students face to maximize their benefits.
