Turkish Adaptation of Artificial Intelligence Attitude Scale-4: Investigating General AI Attitudes through Various Factors

This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Artificial Intelligence Attitude Scale (AIAS-4), originally developed by Grassini (2023) and subsequently adapted into Turkish. In addition, the study examined participants' attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) across various demographic and usage-related factors. Following the translation and cultural adaptation of the scale, analyses were conducted to assess its psychometric properties. A total of 315 individuals voluntarily participated, and data were collected via an online platform. Statistical analyses confirmed that the Turkish version of the AIAS-4 is a valid and reliable instrument. The study also explored differences in AI attitudes based on gender, age, education level, and daily internet use. The results indicated significant differences in attitudes depending on gender, education level, and internet usage duration, whereas age did not have a significant effect. Overall, participants exhibited positive attitudes toward AI, with most reporting usage in areas such as digital assistants and language translation tools. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of AI attitudes and highlights demographic differences in these perceptions.
