THE AIM OF THE PAPER
The aim of the study is to investigate how Generation Z deals with artificial intelligence, with a special focus on the factors that lead to acceptance and aversion. A further aim of the study is to understand the concerns and opinions of this generation about various aspects of artificial intelligence.
METHODOLOGY
As part of the study, an online questionnaire survey was conducted among Generation Z students at the University of Miskolc. After adjusting the sample of 132 people, 131 responses could be analysed. For the questions we used a Likert scale from 1 to 5 and a semantic difference scale where respondents could express their attitude towards artificial intelligence.
MOST IMPORTANT RESULTS
According to the results of the survey, the Generation Z students in the sample have a general aversion to artificial intelligence. Based on the mean scores, students expressed concerns in the areas where the impact of technology is greatest, such as unemployment, inequality, and the controllability of technology.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the study, practical suggestions can be made for educational institutions, businesses, and policy makers. In education, special emphasis must be placed on training in artificial intelligence and ethical aspects. Companies need strategies to facilitate the introduction and the government needs to accompany the development of the technology to ensure equality and compliance with ethical standards. Knowing the results, policy makers should keep an eye on the development of laws to regulate the development of artificial intelligence.
