Artificial intelligence continues to influence educational processes, impacting students’ learning outcomes and academic performance. This study investigates the effects of AI tools on academic performance stability among university students in the Kurdistan Region. Based on a quantitative approach, data were collected from 550 university students using structured questionnaires. The study uses multiple regression analysis to investigate the relationship between academic stability, AI use, learning, critical thinking, and exam performance. These findings suggest that the use of AI at the university level needs to be encouraged, especially for exam preparation and interactive learning. The study contributes to the emerging discussion on the role of AI in learning and calls for further research into the specific use of AI and long-term learning performance patterns.
