of learners in higher education institution. The studyemployed a survey questionnaire in data
collection to gather data of the students, which wasanalysed used descriptive statistics. The
data collected and analysed as part of an action studyprocess to allow deployment of AI toll
for learning in the classroom. The findings show thatstudents have access to smart devices
capable of AI technology integration, however, they are notusing them for learning purposes.
In addition, thefindings reveal that students assert the importance of having Artificial
