Artificial Intelligence (AI) based tools (such as ChatGPT) has revolutionized the learning methodologies for complex subjects by introducing the innovative methods in education. This study focuses on how AI tools can be helpful for the undergraduate students at Shah Abdul Latif University in learning the Python programming and Data science concepts. The study was conducted on beginners and intermediate groups of students through an organized survey by comparing their experiences gained through interactive tasks. The survey results reflect that intermediate users get more benefits from AI tools due to their familiarity with the technologies, whereas beginners face challenges in comprehension and ease of use. The study concludes recommending some practical suggestions to enable AI tools more effective, comprehensive and user-friendly.
