Autonomy in writing involves students actively overseeing their learning processes from the early stages to the last stages of editing and proofreading. Autonomy development has benefitted much from various situations, including the emergence of AI tools. Such tools have paved a new way to promote EFL students’ writing autonomy, as they offer timely and objective feedback tailored to students’ needs. However, to what extent these tools have proved to be instrumental for developing learners’ autonomy level has not received much attention. The current study aimed to fill this void by investigating whether AI-generated feedback has an impact on perceived L2 writing autonomy of EFL students. 262 English as a foreign language (EFL) students from a Turkish state university participated in the study. Results of the study underscore a positive relationship between using AI tools for feedback and increased L2 writing autonomy. These results suggest that AI-generated feedback can be a valuable and complementary feedback source for promoting L2 writing autonomy among EFL students.
