Sabrina Habib, an academic from the University of South Carolina, the University of California, Berkeley, and Emerson College, conducted a study on the impact of AI on student creativity. The study found that AI tools, such as ChatGPT, can be both helpful and detrimental to students' creative thinking skills. While AI can serve as a useful brainstorming tool and spark creative exploration, it can also lead to overreliance on technology and undermine students' confidence in their own abilities. Therefore, a balanced approach is necessary when using AI in the classroom to nurture creativity while utilizing the capabilities of AI. The study also highlighted the importance of developing problem-solving and critical evaluation skills, as these aspects of the creative process still heavily rely on human input.

Additionally, ethical considerations, content ownership, and the potential for plagiarism and false information present challenges in implementing AI in education. Guidelines for responsible use of AI in education are being developed in some states, emphasizing the need to keep the human element at the forefront. Ongoing research will further explore the effect of AI on creativity, including its impact on agency and confidence in different phases of the creative process. Ultimately, the integration of AI in education should aim to facilitate a harmonious coexistence between human creativity and technological advancement.
