General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Scale (GAAIS): Hungarian adaptation and links to personality traits

These findings confirm the reliability and validity of the Hungarian GAAIS and highlight the importance of personality traits in shaping adaptive and maladaptive attitudes toward AI. The results underscore the value of a multidimensional framework for understanding AI attitudes. Adaptive traits were associated with psychological resilience, effective self-regulation, and constructive digital engagement, whereas maladaptive traits were correlated with social anxiety and problematic interactions with the internet and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. A critical question remains: What outcomes may arise from when individuals hold positive attitudes toward AI but simultaneously experience difficulties with self-integration? This paradox highlights the need for further research into the complex interplay between personality structure and digital adaptation.
