Abstract
The aim of the article is to analyze the popularity and usefulness of artificial intelligence (AI) tools among higher education students and to examine how AI influences their academic, professional, and personal lives. The study was conducted on a sample of 104 students in Poland in 2025. The results indicate that chatbots and AI search engines are the most frequently used tools, and students primarily perceive AI as support in the learning process, work organization, and information acquisition. AI serves a complementary role rather than replacing traditional methods of education and work. Students show openness to the automation of routine tasks while emphasizing AI’s limitations in areas requiring interpersonal skills. The study provides up-to-date data on the integration of AI in students’ daily lives and may serve as a starting point for further research on the role of AI in education.

Popularity and usefulness of artificial intelligence tools. A case study of university students
The aim of the article is to analyze the popularity and usefulness of artificial intelligence (AI) tools among higher education students and to examine how AI influences their academic, professional, and personal lives.

AI serves a complementary role rather than replacing traditional methods of education and work. Students show openness to the automation of routine tasks while emphasizing AI’s limitations in areas requiring interpersonal skills. The study provides up-to-date data on the integration of AI in students’ daily lives and may serve as a starting point for further research on the role of AI in education.
