This study explores the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration on intercultural cookbook creation and learning outcomes, engaging Thai and German undergraduate students in a six-week collaborative project. The project aims to enhance recipe development and deepen understanding of food variations across cultures through the application of AI technologies. The methodology employed in this study encompasses both pre- and post-project surveys to measure shifts in students’ perspectives and a detailed rubric-based assessment for evaluating the quality of the cookbooks produced. The project involved a series of structured activities, including cultural exchange sessions, AI-assisted recipe formulation, and reflective discussions, thereby providing a comprehensive educational experience. The outcomes of this study include a deeper understanding of the role of AI can play in collaborative educational projects, especially in terms of enhancing the quality and diversity of output. Additionally, it provides insights into how AI applications can influence students’ perceptions and experiences of intercultural exchange. This study holds significant potential for informing educators about the advantages and challenges of integrating AI into project-based learning environments, thus promoting a more nuanced understanding of intercultural interactions and paving the way for innovative educational practices in the 21st century.
