        abstract = {AI is a common word and is used in the present time, whether in daily usage for jobs, business or for those students who are in higher education. In this learning, a creative and everyday problem-solving lifestyle is rising due to the existence of AI and AI-enabled applications and tools. As a result, NEP-2020 has emphasised the human potential to align with these digital competences and Innovations. This research will explore the applicability, pros and cons of AI applications and Tools on the students of Higher Education in a region of the Gujarat State, i.e. Saurashtra.
This study also looks at the patterns of Human-AI interaction and their influence on cognitive creativity among students of higher education in the region. The research examines students’ behavioural responses to the use of widely adopted AI applications in daily life as well as in their learning process. This study is based on Correlational research methodology to get through students in general in higher education in the region and it further explores the psychological dimensions of AI usage, including motivation, confidence, dependency, and creative thinking.
At the conclusion, it will suggest how much AI applications function as cognitive facilitators that enhance idea generation, problem-solving and creative expression when used responsibly and how they affect cognitive decelerators and substitutes that inhibit the development of fundamental skills, foster intellectual dependence, and lead to the homogenization of output, particularly when reliance on them replaces genuine, effortful cognitive engagement. The study highlights the need for structured guidance in integrating AI among higher education students.},
