This study was aimed at finding out the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in English Language Teaching at UINSI Samarinda. It is a qualitative study in the form of a naturalistic study. The data were collected by applying observation participants, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The data then analysed by applying Constant Comparative Method to generate theory. The result of the study revealed that there were strengths and drawbacks of AI implementation in ELT. It showed that the implementation of AI in ELT could enhance personalized learning, innovate ELT methodologies, and conduct adaptive assessment. In other way round, it was found that AI could depersonalize learning, over rely on technology, and imbalance technology and human interaction in language development. In conclusion, AI in ELT not only offers strengths, but also has drawbacks. Thus, the need for careful balance between them is essential to ensure comprehensive meaningful learning experiences. Striking this balance is crucial for the successful integration of AI in the future of ELT.
