1. Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created opportunities and substantial changes in the ever-changing
technology landscape. The promise of AI in algorithm design, data management, and marketing is highlighted
by Haleem[1]. He does caution against over-reliance on AI, though, since it might impede creativity, creative
problem-solving, and critical thinking in technology-related sectors. An anti-ependency education approach
has been created in response to this, enabling students to be creative in the AI era and guaranteeing their ability
to adjust to the quickly changing technological environment.
Smith[2] emphasizes the value of critical thinking abilities in training tactics aimed at preventing
dependency. Students are urged to challenge, dissect, and assess data produced by AI, pointing out its flaws,
restrictions, and moral dilemmas. With this method, kids are better able to make thoughtful choices and create
original solutions that go beyond what I can do. The anti-dependency teaching approach places a strong
emphasis on using project-based learning and practical exercises to encourage creativity and innovation.

Environment and Social Psychology | doi: 10.59429/esp.v9i8.3026
Question 8. What are the effects of these strategies to the innovative skills and output of the students?
3.8.1. Responsible usage
Five (5) respondents state the importance of establishing clear guidelines and policies regarding the use
of AI tools in academic settings. While encouraging students to explore and experiment with AI for enhancing
their innovative outputs, it is essential to provide guidance on responsible usage. Policies should emphasize
the importance of using AI-generated content as a starting point for creative ideas, while also stressing the
need for critical evaluation and refinement to maintain originality. Ethical considerations, such as proper
attribution and plagiarism avoidance, should be integrated into these policies to ensure academic integrity.
Ultimately, as an IT instructor, the belief is that AI can serve as a valuable tool for students if used appropriately,
but it should never replace their own thinking and creativity.
“They can use AI-generated content as a starting point for their own creative ideas, leveraging AI's unique
perspectives.”
“As an IT instructor I believe AI can be a helpful tool for students if used correctly. It shouldn't replace
their own361 thinking and creativity.”
3.8.2. Implementing stringent policies
Four (4) respondents state that regarding the importance of implementing cautious policies regarding the
use of AI in academic settings. Concerns over the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated information
necessitate the establishment of policies to mitigate potential risks. Policies should address the potential for AI
to produce inaccurate or misleading content, including fabricated research and unattributed sources, which can
undermine the educational process and hinder students' comprehension of subject matter.

Assigning projects in courses such as Statistics, Physics, and Chemistry serves as an effective assessment tool,
challenging students to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts. These hands-on assignments not only
test students' understanding but also make it difficult for AI to provide answers, encouraging independent
thinking and creativity. Overall, the implementation of reduction strategies empowers students to develop
essential skills and produce innovative outputs that are not solely reliant onAI technology.
“For self-learning, give assignments that require students to use various resources, not just AI.” “Open-
ended questions, in particular, force students to demonstrate their true understanding, as they cannot rely on
AI-generated responses.”
4. Discussion
4.1. Question 1
Question 1. What are the characteristics of students who are dependent on Artificial Intelligence (AI)
like ChatGPT to help them with innovative-based academic requirements?
4.1.1. Intensive use
The results highlight a complicated relationship in which students who significantly rely on AI
demonstrate a solid understanding of technology and creative study techniques, placing a high value on
efficiency and embracing technological innovations. But there's cause for concern about the possible negative
effects of over-reliance—these pupils may become less creative and critical thinkers because of depending too
much on AI-generated answers. This theory is consistent with Paesano[20] examining if human labor in creative
pursuits may be replaced by the extensive application of AI in organizational behavior. This over-reliance,
made possible by AI's convenience, runs the risk of eschewing conventional research techniques and ignoring
the assessment of the reliability of the information. This theory is consistent with Mukhamediev et al.[21]. Both
the AI (internal problems) and the societal (external problems) perspectives must be taken into account when
analyzing the difficulties associated with mainstream AI applications. Therefore, even though AI technologies
increase productivity, it becomes imperative for holistic academic growth to promote a balanced strategy that
promotes technological integration alongside the development of autonomous cognitive skills.
4.2. Question 2
Question 2. What are the effects of dependency to AI in terms of their innovative skills?
4.2.1. Reliance on AI
As people rely more and more on AI systems for data gathering, decision-making, and problem-solving,
their critical thinking skills are at risk of being undermined, leading a superficial comprehension of intricate
phenomena. This theory is consistent with Solberg[22]. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance
organizational decision-making is gaining traction. But studies show that people's decision to rely on “AI
decision aids” and their level of trust in them might be shaky. Furthermore, an over-reliance on AI may hinder
students' ability to independently solve problems and generate creative ideas, which would limit their prospects
for creativity and hinder the development of strong critical thinking skills. The approach is in line with the
organizational trust model of Mayer[23] in order to develop a conceptual model of trust, perceived risk, and
dependence on AI decision aids in the workplace. As a result, if people rely too much on AI, their capacity for
creativity may suffer because of the technology's tendency to make decisions quickly, which could interfere
with the development of creative thinking. This less dependence on one's own cognitive abilities runs the risk
of impairing one's capacity for creativity and critical thought, which limits one's ability to adapt and think
creatively when faced with unfamiliar situations.
11
Environment and Social Psychology | doi: 10.59429/esp.v9i8.3026
4.3. Question 3
Question 3. What are the issues of dependency to AI in terms of academic integrity?
4.3.1. Dependency
There is good reason to be concerned about how reliance on AI will affect academic integrity, especially
in relation to plagiarism. This theory is in line with the findings of Awasthi [26], who also discovered that
methods to limit academic misconduct, such as plagiarism, must be put in place in response to the issue of
vigilance in the academic community. They Pointed out that students might rely too much on AI technologies,
which would result in the submission of work that isn't authentic or unique, going against core academic values.
Students' integrity can be compromised if they submit content produced by AI as their own. This concept is in
line with the conclusions of Weber[27], which pushes businesses to give AI systems the right data basis and to
continuously modify them as the data changes. Technology doesn't make learning harder, but misattributed AI
content might skew knowledge and misrepresent study conclusions, which can undermine the educational
process. Therefore, to preserve academic integrity, it is imperative that AI be used responsibly, with correct
acknowledgment and adherence to academic standards.
4.3.2. Innovation
The result emphasized that students run the risk of unintentional plagiarism if they don't properly credit
AI-generated sources. This theory is consistent with the findings of Zielinski [28] which states that academic
content created or edited by AI would be saved and might therefore show up in subsequent responses, raising
the possibility of unintentional plagiarism on the part of the user and any subsequent users of the technology.
Although students ultimately decide how to use AI for creative outputs, AI tools can support creative
approaches to academic work by offering data and supporting research procedures. However, there is a serious
chance that AI will produce false information and mistakes, which could impair students' understanding of the
material and the educational process in general. This theory is consistent with the findings of Zhang[29], which
show that the user preference deviation phenomena affects the accuracy of the personal recommender system
and also fails to accurately reflect users' genuine preferences. Academic integrity problems, especially with
regard to plagiarism, can arise from a student's over-reliance on AI-generated information and their failure to
properly attribute sources or acknowledge the originality of their own work. In the end, students must exercise
caution and accountability while using AI tools to produce new outputs to preserve originality and academic
integrity.
4.3.3. Integrity
The results emphasized the significance of finding a balance, developing an ethical awareness,
maintaining academic integrity, and fostering critical thinking and creative abilities in addition to the use of
12
Environment and Social Psychology | doi: 10.59429/esp.v9i8.3026
AI. This theory is supported by Delos Reyes et al.[30] showing that struggles with vocabulary, grammar
structures, and pronunciation especially when it comes to speaking and understanding the language. Students
can take use of AI's advantages while maintaining the integrity of their academic work by doing this. The
accessibility of AI-generated content can result in problems like copying and a lack of originality. This theory
is consistent with the research conducted by Mitchell[31], which found other records that suggest something
more pervasive and possibly much more dangerous than a lack of originality. The idea of students passing off
AI-generated work as their own is tempting, and it goes against the values of academic integrity and honesty.
This emphasizes how crucial it is to support moral behavior and appropriate reference guidelines so that
students maintain integrity in their academic pursuits.
4.4. Question 4
Question 4. Do you allow your students to use AI to aid them in producing innovative-based outputs?
Explain why or why not.
4.4.1. Diminished the originality
Concerning the potential inability to appropriately credit or acknowledge information produced by AI
tools, the respondents emphasized the moral conundrum that this technology poses. Furthermore, respondents
acknowledged that they struggled with concerns of plagiarism and lack of originality. They also acknowledged
that they were tempted to present work generated by AI as their own, even though they knew this was dishonest.
This theory is consistent with Sallam[32] 58/60 (96.7%) records raised concerns about the use of ChatGPT,
including risks related to bias, plagiarism, lack of originality, inaccurate content that could cause hallucinations,
limited knowledge, incorrect citations, cybersecurity, and the possibility of infomedics. Additionally,
Respondents also emphasized the inherent danger related to the dependability and accuracy of data produced
by AI, warning against the possibility that it could skew study results and make it more difficult for students
to understand the material. This concept corresponds with the results of Deniz[33]. Artificial intelligence obtains
its data from the internet, where information authenticity and dependability are continuously contested.
ChatGPT has the potential to generate biased and factually incorrect texts, which can particularly damage
academics' authority and reputation. These results highlight the necessity of carefully balancing the use of AI
to improve learning with maintaining academic integrity to provide a supportive learning environment.
4.5. Question 5
Question 5. How do you manage the use (or not use) of AI in terms of the output with 518 components of
innovativeness? Elaborate by citing specific situations.
4.5.1. Preserving originality
The result encourages a well-rounded approach, suggesting tactics like encouraging autonomous problem-
solving abilities before introducing AI as a supplemental tool, carefully planning AI integration to align with
educational goals and address ethical concerns, and creating innovative assignments to engage students in idea
generation and solution exploration. This theory is consistent with Chavez et al.[34]. Reputation, optimism,
competence, and applicability were the main factors predicting motivation. They also stress how important it
is for all parties involved to have a basic understanding of AI principles. This theory is consistent with Currie[35].
A foundational knowledge of radiomics, artificial neural networks, machine learning, and deep learning is
necessary to weave design solutions that satisfy legal and ethical requirements and to create AI-based
algorithms that improve efficiency, quality, and results. By putting these strategies into practice, teachers may
make sure that students gain the ability to think critically and creatively while utilizing AI's advantages in the
classroom, creating a more comprehensive and stimulating learning environment.

4.6. Question 6
Question 6. What strategies do you employ to reduce the AI-dependency of Technology-based learners
in producing innovative-based academic output. Enumerate and explain each strategy.
4.6.1. Incorporating visual or interactive
Teachers can use a variety of tactics. Collaborative group projects encourage cooperation and teamwork
while creating an atmosphere that is favorable to critical thinking and constructive criticism. This theory is
consistent with Sabdani-Asiri[36]. Academic leaders can improve their confidence, communication skills, and
general efficacy by utilizing these tools and techniques. Encouraging conversations that question presumptions
and consider other viewpoints helps learners become even more innovative. Numerous scholars have examined
this issue and attempted to categorize different forms of plagiarism; yet, the majority of these techniques are
ineffective in identifying intelligent plagiarism. Effective strategies for encouraging autonomous thought
include peer collaboration, organized brainstorming sessions, giving manual problem-solving priority, and
talking about the moral ramifications of using artificial intelligence. These methods seek to foster critical
thinking abilities in students and motivate them to think about the wider effects of AI integration.
4.6.2. Promoting independent research
Teachers might use techniques like encouraging individual study, practical projects, and group debates.
This theory is consistent with research by Inoferio et al.[37], which found that using AI models fosters students'
sense of independence and motivates them to actively participate in self-guided learning. Students' critical
thinking and creativity are encouraged by these exercises. This theory supports the findings of Šašić[38] and has
a significant impact on promoting the growth of efficient learning techniques for self-regulation. Individual
thinking skills are further developed by assigning tasks that require individual inquiry and problem-solving
without the use of AI.
4.7. Question 7
Question 7. How do you employ these strategies to reduce the AI dependency of Technology Based
learners in producing innovative-based academic output? Explain the steps or procedure in doing the
strategies.
4.7.1 Fostering critical thinking
Students that are encouraged to think critically are better able to assess and analyze data, which produces
original ideas. It is challenging for students to apply their knowledge when they are assigned projects in
disciplines like physics, chemistry, and statistics. This makes it tough for AI to deliver answers. This concept
is consistent with the results of Ennis[39]. Projects that entail researching, adopting, and defending a stance
strengthen critical thinking skills and attitudes while expanding subject-matter expertise. The curriculum,
assignment designs, and class discussions all incorporate these tactics, which establish clear guidelines,
promote teamwork, and offer assistance and feedback. This concept is in line with the results of Fikriyatii[40]
regarding the model's efficacy and applicability in enhancing critical thinking abilities and disposition. By
following these procedures, students can develop their own creativity and critical thinking skills while using
AI efficiently. In addition to implementing interactive learning activities and enforcing rules regarding the use
of AI, teachers can also use feedback to highlight the value of originality and creativity. Self-learning
assignments motivate students to use a variety of resources in addition to artificial intelligence.

4.8.4 Reduction
Students who are encouraged to think critically are better able to assess and analyze data, which produces
novel and creative ideas. In classes like statistics, physics, and chemistry, projects are a useful tool for
evaluation since they force students to use what they've learned in practical settings. This theory is consistent
with the findings of Arisoy[45], which showed that students' critical thinking abilities and virtues improved as
a result of their education in the experimental group. Consequences for Practice and Research: In terms of
helping students develop their critical thinking abilities and virtues, this study offers an excellent
implementation. In addition to testing students' comprehension, these practical activities impede AI's ability to
deliver solutions, promoting critical thinking and innovation on their part. All things considered, the
application of reduction tactics enables students to acquire critical competencies and generate creative outputs
that are not exclusively dependent on artificial intelligence.
5. Conclusion
In conclusion, the anti-dependency teaching strategy is a comprehensive method for empowering tech-
savvy pupils in the AI era and is provided by the anti-dependency education approach. It focuses on
determining teaching strategies in reducing AI-dependency of Technology-based learners in producing
innovative-based academic output. equipping students to be active creators and problem solvers, strengthening
critical thinking, promoting multidisciplinary methods, stimulating creativity, addressing ethical issues,
creating collaborative learning environments, and emphasizing lifelong learning. This approach empowers
students to question, examine, and assess AI-generated outputs, leading to creative solutions. Hands-on
activities and project-based learning enhance problem-solving skills, while ethics ensure responsible AI use
and societal impact. Interdisciplinary methods provide a deeper understanding of AI and its potential uses. By
putting this plan into practice, educators can give students the knowledge and perspective they need to
effectively navigate the AI era, producing a new generation of creative thinkers who can transform society for
the better.
