Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) literacy is a crucial aspect of media and information literacy (MIL), regarded not only as a human right but also as a fundamental requirement for societal advancement and stability. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive, cross-border perspective on AI literacy levels by surveying 1,800 university students from four Asian and African nations. The findings revealed significant disparities in AI literacy levels based on nationality, scientific specialization, and academic degrees, while age and gender did not show notable impacts. Malaysian participants scored significantly higher on the AI literacy scale than individuals from other countries. The results indicated that various demographic and academic factors influenced respondents’ perceptions of AI and their inclination to utilize it. Nationality and academic degree were identified as the most influential factors, followed by scientific specialization, with age and gender exerting a lesser influence. The study highlights the necessity of focusing research efforts on the detailed dimensions of the AI literacy scale and examining the effects of previously untested intervening variables. Additionally, it advocates for assessing AI literacy levels across different societal segments and developing the appropriate measurements.
