The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies like ChatGPT in educational settings has sparked significant interest and discussion. ChatGPT offers personalized feedback and explanations customized to individual student needs, with the goal of enhancing engagement, comprehension, and academic performance. The objective of research to review engages with ongoing debates surrounding AI in education, particularly concerning issues of critical thinking, creativity, and the evolving role of educators in AI-driven learning environments. The review method employed in this research was synthesize existing research involved conducting a systematic search of academic databases using relevant keywords ("ChatGPT," "AI in education," "student achievement") to identify peer-reviewed articles, conference papers, and reports. Result of synthesize shows the integration of AI-driven tools like ChatGPT into educational settings has the potential to significantly enhance student achievement by tailoring learning experiences, refining language skills, cultivating critical thinking, providing supplementary resources, offering timely feedback, and boosting motivation and confidence.
