Students’ Attitudes Towards Artificial Intelligence and Their Digital Competence

The main aim of the study was to learn the general attitudes of students from a pedagogical university towards artificial intelligence (AI) and their relationship with selected digital competences and knowledge about AI. The diagnostic survey method was used. The General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Scale (GAAIS) questionnaire (Schepman & Rodway) was used. 226 students participated in the study. Respondents have less positive attitudes towards the benefits of AI and less forgiving attitudes towards the disadvantages of AI than participants in the English and Turkish studies. A positive correlation was observed between competences related to the use of AI, ICT and computers and a positive attitude towards the benefits of AI, as well as between competences in the use of AI and an understanding attitude towards the disadvantages of AI.
