Navigating AI Integration in Final Project Supervision: Academic Integrity, Challenges, and Best Practices
Abstract
Abstract: This study examines the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the thesis supervision process for students in the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting Study Program at Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin State Islamic University (UIN) Jambi. Employing a qualitative approach, the study involved in-depth interviews with 10 students who were actively completing their undergraduate theses during the 2025/2026 academic year and five thesis supervisors. The findings indicate that the integration of AI provides various benefits, including increased efficiency, more personalized guidance, and improved accessibility to academic references. Students reported that AI accelerated the thesis revision process by providing real-time feedback and recommendations for relevant literature. Meanwhile, lecturers experienced a reduced administrative workload through the automation of routine tasks, allowing them to focus more on providing guidance on conceptual and methodological aspects. The recommendations emphasize the importance of institutional policies to enhance technology training and develop digital infrastructure for academic staff and students. Thus, AI can be effectively integrated to support the thesis supervision process and help students achieve their academic potential more optimally. The main limitation of this study lies in its limited sample size, which prevents the findings from being statistically generalized. In addition, the findings reflect a specific phase of generative AI adoption that may change in response to the rapid evolution of the technology.
Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengkaji penggunaan Kecerdasan Buatan (AI) dalam proses pembimbingan skripsi bagi mahasiswa Program Studi Komunikasi dan Penyiaran Islam di Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini melibatkan wawancara mendalam terhadap 10 mahasiswa yang sedang aktif menyelesaikan tugas akhir pada tahun akademik 2025/2026 serta lima dosen pembimbing. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi AI memberikan berbagai manfaat, seperti peningkatan efisiensi, bimbingan yang lebih personal, dan aksesibilitas yang lebih baik terhadap referensi akademik. Mahasiswa melaporkan bahwa AI mempercepat proses revisi skripsi dengan memberikan umpan balik secara real-time dan rekomendasi literatur yang relevan. Sementara itu, dosen merasakan berkurangnya beban kerja administratif berkat otomatisasi tugas-tugas rutin, sehingga mereka dapat lebih fokus pada pemberian arahan terkait aspek konseptual dan metodologis. Rekomendasi yang diajukan menekankan pentingnya kebijakan institusional untuk meningkatkan pelatihan teknologi serta mengembangkan infrastruktur digital bagi staf akademik dan mahasiswa. Dengan demikian, AI dapat diintegrasikan secara efektif untuk mendukung proses pembimbingan skripsi dan membantu mahasiswa mencapai potensi akademik mereka secara optimal. Keterbatasan utama studi ini terletak pada cakupan sampel yang terbatas, sehingga temuan ini tidak dapat digeneralisasi secara statistik Selain itu, temuan mencerminkan fase tertentu adopsi AI generatif yang berpotensi berubah seiring laju evolusi teknologi.
