This study investigates the fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and group dynamics by examining undergraduate student perceptions (n=112) of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Grammarly, etc.) in collaborative group work at IMC Krems of Applied Sciences University, Tashkent campus. By using surveys, thematic analysis, it explores AI impact on communication, equity, and task management in culturally diverse, multilingual settings. Results show majority students regularly use AI tools for idea generation, feedback, language support. Qualitative analysis reveals four themes: enhanced efficiency, improved communication support and concerns about over-reliance and reduced interpersonal interaction. While AI serves as cognitive and emotional scaffolding but requires mindful, ethical integration to maximize benefits. The research offers novel insights for non-Western multilingual contexts and practical guidance for educators implementing human-AI hybrid collaboration.
