Indonesian Higher Education Students' AI Literacy: A Measurement and Perspective Analysis
Abstract
The rapid proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across various sectors necessitates a well-informed and capable populace, particularly within higher education. As AI reshapes industries and daily life, understanding the AI literacy of future professionals becomes paramount. This study investigates the level of AI literacy among Indonesian higher education students, exploring their knowledge, skills, attitudes, and ethical perceptions regarding AI. Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from a diverse sample of university students across different disciplines. The findings reveal varying levels of AI literacy components, highlighting specific areas of strength and areas requiring targeted educational interventions. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on AI literacy measurement and provides crucial insights for curriculum development, pedagogical strategies, and policy formulation in Indonesian higher education to better prepare students for an AI-driven future.
