This study investigates the challenges and benefits of AI technology in literature education, as it can help teachers, pique students' interest, and enhance critical thinking. Background AI technology can potentially revolutionize traditional teaching and learning methods. Hence, it has recently earned increasing attention from people in the educational field (Chen & Yuan, 2022). Artificial intelligence opens up the possibility of making learning about English literature's masterpieces more interactive and insightful for students. To fulfill educators' diverse student needs and learning styles, they can provide personalized learning experiences, adaptive feedback, and automated assessment tools through AI algorithms and platforms (Fitria, 2021). Students can also explore text more thoroughly using AI-driven text analysis tools, which enhance speed and precision and uncover hidden themes, patterns, and literary devices. Furthermore, new chances for AI technology implementation in literature training have emerged due to the digitalization of literary works and the emergence of online learning platforms. According to Chen et al. (2023), AI-powered chatbots, virtual tutors, and language processing technologies can help educators create a more engaging and interactive learning environment where students actively participate and receive personalized feedback. Khabib (2022) notes that, along with the advancement of AI technology and its increasingly prominent role in education, literature educators need to examine the effects of AI on their teaching methods and adapt their pedagogical approach to maximize the use of AI's potential to enhance students' critical thinking, analytical, and literary appreciation skills.

Research Organization Contents of the paper will include an introduction, literature review, method and techniques, results and findings, discussion, recommendations, and conclusion. The effect of artificial intelligence on UNIKO’s English literature course will be discussed in detail, and the focus will be on its implications, such as the writing style, the way readers perceive literary texts, students’ responses, and the opportunities and challenges AI brings together with the suggestions for further study and application. Literature Review Integration of AI in Literature Education The introduction of AI in literature teaching and learning at the university level has been a huge game changer. Huang et al. (2023) described that AI technology's rapid development has led to teachers' including AI tools and systems in literature classes as stream improvement. According to Chen and Yuan (2022), education in the English language and literature, especially with data support, could help teachers identify the correct teaching method and valuable information. Academics receive AI algorithms and data analytics, which empower them to uphold teaching quality, offer personalized learning, and meet diverse student needs. Artificial intelligence-powered learning platforms, through their adaptive learning pathways, propose unexplored and exhilarating possibilities for experiencing and exploring literary texts. AI interventions can assign practical duties in the literature educational system, allowing teachers to pay attention to their students' wholesome understanding of literary analysis and critical thinking (Chen et al., 2020). To this end, the programs will run automatic essay scoring and personal reading recommendations.             In the wave of AI-oriented technology development, educators are pinpointing the best way to incorporate AI tools and systems into literacy classes. Chen and Yuan (2022) pointed out AI's conscious ability to teach English as a foreign language or literature. This is because AI can collect and analyze data to determine the best methods for providing relevant insights. Educators improve instructional quality by utilizing AI algorithms and data analytics while providing students with individualized learning experiences. In AI-supported learning contexts, adaptive learning trials bring brilliant approaches to catching and connecting with literary works. Concerning the literature training programs, AI automation takes over the administrative tasks, and the teachers are to develop the conceptual comprehension of the students regarding analysis and critical thinking (Chen et al., 2020). These interventions include automated essay grading and personalized reading suggestions.             Besides traditional face-to-face learning, AI in literary subjects is an internet-based learning environment and web exposition. Fitria (2021) concentrates on using AI in teaching and learning strategies, particularly in the English language. The internet offers many AI-enabled language learning apps and virtual teachers that provide immediate feedback and allow learners to dive into their desired languages. These digital materials make it possible for both autonomic education and individual-directed reading of literary materials, and they are a substitute for classroom learning. AI implementation yields problematic situations for literature educators who find it challenging to alter their teaching methods so that AI-integrated learning environments are effective. As Klimova et al. (2023) highlight, universities incorporate artificial intelligence into literary instruction to foster student engagement, develop literary taste, and equip students with the necessary skills to thrive in a fast-paced digital world. AI in Writing Pedagogy AI is crucial in teaching academic English writing pedagogy. Dong (2023) discusses the transformative effects of AI-based pedagogy and suggests how to teach and assess students effectively. By highlighting writing peculiarities, locating problem areas, and making personalized corrections, AI algorithms can assist students in building up their writing skills. Furthermore, learners may receive instant grammar and style commendations from AI-driven writing helpers, enabling them to produce higher-quality academic papers. Zhao (2023) adds that educators can use AI technologies to design different and adaptable writing lessons to suit individual student requirements and learning preferences.             Moreover, Khabib (2022) researches the use of AI in digital writing helpers for educators, taking an exemplary view of producing academic writing. AI helpers can assist in scholarly paper writing, editing, and formatting tasks, facilitating the publication process and raising the research output rate. By using AI-driven writing tools to save instructors’ time for these purposes, scholarly writing will be much more effective. Zhao and Nazir (2022) indicate that the tools that AI-powered plagiarism detection software gives teachers to spot instances of plagiarism in student writing and correct the situation help instructors maintain the academic integrity standard. As technology advances, improving writing pedagogy will lead to creative AI-based strategies to assist students’ scholarly writing proficiency and communication skills (Cox, 2021). AI and Literary Creation The interaction between AI and literature has ushered in a new era of innovation and research in the field of storytelling and story creation. Fang et al. (2023) demonstrate the AI-supported capacity of AI-based content writing tools to produce narrative content on their own. AI systems can deal with large databases of literary works obtained from publishing and spot trends, even producing fresh stories within the boundaries of human storytelling algorithms. According to Khabib (2022), AI-powered story generators that cover traditional storytelling channels and new possibilities for inspiration and creativity through natural language processing and machine learning are now available for authors and producers.             Additionally, Zhao (2023) demonstrates how English for the Second Language (EFL) authors can apply AI technology by using it as a digital writing assistant for those learning English as a second language. EFL writers can use AI-based writing assistants to overcome language barriers, present their ideas more effectively, and get instant feedback on grammar, lexical choices, and sentence formation. Zhai and Wibowo (2023) assert that AI systems can collaborate with human writers in the development of creative prompts, tale ideas, and story plot structures. Using artificial intelligence in the creative writing process, writers may find new story ideas, escape writer’s block, and achieve highly creative levels they had never imagined. Nazari et al. (2021) argue that alongside the development of AI technologies, they are ready to touch the lives of writers and people who like reading by making stories alive for people worldwide. AI in Language Learning and Communication Skills The incorporation of AI in language learning is an innovative approach that not only raises learners' communication level but also their language proficiency. Rusmiyanto et al. (2023) mention AI capabilities in interactive language exercises and feedback systems, which can enhance a learner's language communication ability. In addition to AI-supported language learning systems, students would participate in interactive languages involving conversational simulations, pronunciation drills, communication, and comprehension tests based on each requirement. Language students may benefit more from learning through AI algorithms that can monitor progress and pinpoint areas of weakness by providing immediate feedback on how a learner chooses to communicate.             Moreover, Moybeka et al. (2023) have also theorized the effect of AI on EFL students' motivation, analyzing the psychological a...
