Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, particularly those powered by language models like ChatGPT, have become increasingly integrated into the global educational landscape. In Pakistan, higher education institutions are beginning to explore the potential benefits of these tools for enhancing learnin g experiences and improving assessment practices. This study examines the impact of AI tools such as ChatGPT on student learning and academic assessments in Pakistani universities, focusing on student perceptions, faculty readiness, and the effectiveness of these technologies. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. The results suggest that while students recognize the potential of AI tools to provide personalized learning support, concerns related to academic integrity, faculty training, and institutional readiness remain. This research highlights the need for universities to adopt AI tools in a structured way to ensure that they support educational outcomes while addressing the challenges associated with their integration.
