The Relationship Between the Degree of AI Cognition and Its Degree of Trust

This research explores the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy and trust in AI systems. As AI continues to be integrated into various aspects of daily life, understanding the connection between knowledge of AI and trust is crucial. The study develops a comprehensive AI literacy questionnaire, addressing key dimensions such as "Know and Understand AI," "Use and Apply AI," and "Evaluate and Create AI," alongside questions measuring the degree of trust in AI. The research finds a weak negative relationship between AI literacy and trust, which is different from existing literature that typically suggests a positive or neutral correlation. The results, though not statistically significant, highlight the importance of AI education and its potential role in shaping public trust. Despite limitations such as sample size and time constraints, the study offers valuable insights and contributes to the ongoing dialogue about AI literacy and trust. Future research, with a larger and more diverse sample, could help clarify these findings and further explore the interplay between AI literacy and trust across different populations and settings.
