The connection between the field of computer and artificial intelligence has emerged as a potential new tool for enhancing students’ writing performance at the University of Tabuk. The goal of this research was to investigate the use of artificial intelligence to augment scientific and technical writing among computer science students at the University of Tabuk. Thirty-five students aged nineteen to twenty years old participated in this study. This research employed quantitative research design. A survey questionnaire with 11 questions was designed to assess the university students’ perceptions of artificial intelligence use in learning. The study illustrated that students with a positive attitude toward artificial intelligence performed better, improved their language skills, and enhanced their learning. The study also established that artificial intelligence use among students increases academic writing. This research contributes significantly to understanding of how artificial intelligence impacts the scientific and technical writing proficiency of computer science students. Although artificial intelligence shows great potential, it should be seen as an additional tool that enhances rather than replaces the crucial function of human educators. In results indicate that, chatbot was demonstrated to significantly improve the writing skills of computer science students at the University of Tabuk through the use of artificial intelligence, including chatbots.
