    The risk of artificial intelligence in academic: investigating students dependency on artificial intelligence for assignments and exams
    (Saudi digital library, 2025) Alnefaie, Rasil; Koutsoulis, Michalis
    Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT are experiencing rapid adoption in higher education institutions, which is changing students' approaches to academic work. The tools provide benefits through increased efficiency and improved accessibility but they create problems because students develop dependency which affects their academic performance. The research study investigates how much students depend on artificial intelligence for their academic tasks which include assignments and exams while assessing its effects on their cognitive abilities and academic honesty. The researchers used a quantitative research method to conduct a study which involved 100 University of Nicosia students who completed a structured questionnaire that measured their AI usage and cognitive effects and integrity risks and trust in AI. The research results show that many students need to use AI tools because they face difficult academic situations which create urgent deadlines. Many respondents reported negative effects on critical thinking, creativity, memory retention, and depth of learning. Respondents widely confirmed their worries about academic integrity issues which included plagiarism and decreased originality. Students demonstrate average trust in AI tools but they require both institutional guidelines and training to trust those systems fully. The research shows that academic performance receives assistance from AI tools yet students who depend too much on these tools lose crucial learning abilities therefore academic institutions need to implement responsible AI usage policies that achieve educational results.

    Digital Fitness Influence: Analyzing Hanan Alanazi’s Instagram Strategies in Promoting Physical Health in Saudi Arabia
    (Saudi Digital Library, 2025) Moghiseeb, Abeer; Papaioannou, Tao
    Abstract Social media influencers have become important players in the commercialization of social media platforms. In particular, influencers have proven their ability to reach broad audiences and shape their perceptions, especially in the realm of fitness and physical exercise. Nonetheless, the existing research on Saudi Arabian fitness influencers is lacking. Therefore, the aim of the present research is to identify how is fitness knowledge shared in influencer content and what cultural expressions/adaptations are embedded in influencer posts. To achieve this purpose, the present research examines 150 posts of a Hanan Alanzi (@lamaworkout), a prominent fitness influencer in Saudi Arabia between March 2024 and March 2025. The analysis of the posts demonstrates that Alanzi’s communication is multifaceted, including bilingual communication, motivational discourse, and structured exercise routines. In addition, her inclusion of culturally sensitive elements predominantly revolves around culturally timed fitness, and privacy-oriented home workouts. Through effective communication and culturally adapted content, Alanzi is able to integrate Western fitness ideas within the local culture, attracting local and global audiences alike. Despite the presence of creator-specific limitations, the present research encourages Middle Eastern fitness influencers to utilize similar strategies to align global trends with cultural norms.
