Abstract

This research is motivated by the low level of reading literacy in Indonesia, which is reflected in the 2022 PISA score of 359, as well as a similar phenomenon in Culinary students who tend to download references without reading in depth. The purpose of the study is to analyze the behavior of using Artificial Intelligence (AI), the level of reading and writing literacy, and the influence of AI use on literacy. The method used was a survey with a sample of 90 students out of a total of 123 students, using an AI behavioral questionnaire and a literacy rubric. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and product moment correlations. The results showed that the behavior of using AI was in the good category (score 70.24), while literacy was in the good category (score 63.6). AI is most widely used for information search and writing references. There was a positive but low correlation between the use of AI and literacy (r = 0.315), with a contribution of 9.9%. These findings suggest that AI helps access to information, but that improving literacy remains dependent on critical reading and writing skills.
