    The main objective of this study was to determine students' perspectives on the influence of Artificial Intelligence on writing skills. This descriptive study obtained results from 60 undergraduate participants (30 men and 30 women, ages between 18 and 24). Data was collected through a 19 items survey, each with 5 options on a Likert scale. The survey was validated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.915) and approved by five subject matter experts who showed acceptance for each survey item, and values ranged from 0.80 to 1 on Aiken's V coefficient. For the development of this research, three research questions related to the objectives were formulated, focusing on the following categories: Artificial Intelligence Tools, Types of Artificial Intelligence, and Writing Strategies. First, the results showed that the Artificial Intelligence tools most used by students are those that use content generation (ChatGPT AI) and superficial correction (Grammarly AI) and the types of Artificial Intelligence most used in writing are those whose function is linguistic accuracy which helps grammar correction (ChatGPT AI) and lexical diversity (Writefull) due to the constant use of these technologies nowadays. In addition, several strategies were found to improve students' writing skills, such as generating ideas before writing and understanding complex topics. Finally, it was found that students make use of several strategies before writing, such as brainstorming, templates, and checklists, to improve their writing skills. Thus, it is suggested that tools such as ChatGPT or Grammarly should be used in order to support academic writing.
