Abstract:	Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technological product in the form of an application usable in education. The implementation of AI, specifically in the teaching and learning process in Higher Education, not only broadens students' scientific knowledge academically but also facilitates awareness about current technological developments. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the improvement of English writing skills through the integration of AI into reading practices and provision of adequate feedback for skills enhancement. Also, students' attitude toward the use of AI in the teaching and learning process served as the intervening variables. This study was conducted at Higher Schools in Makassar City, Indonesia, and data were collected from 80 students through questionnaires and subsequently analyzed using path analysis. The results showed that (1) Students' attitude toward the use of AI played a mediating role in explaining the effect of reading and feedback on writing skills, (2) Reading had an indirect effect through attitude on writing skills improvement, and (3) Lecturers feedback had an indirect effect through attitude on writing skills.
