AI Trust and Attitude Towards AI of University Students
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The quantitative study investigated the relationship between AI trust and attitudes toward AI among university college students. An adapted questionnaire was utilized. Data were gathered through Google Forms, where the respondents were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Validity and reliability tests were employed using Cronbach's Alpha and Average Variance Extracted. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the variables and subcomponents in the study, while bootstrapping analysis was conducted through SmartPLS 4.0 to assess the hypothesized model. The results demonstrated that college students showed a moderate level of AI trust and attitude toward AI and confirmed the significant relationship between the predictor (AI trust) and outcome (attitude toward AI) constructs.
