Artificial Intelligence (AI) Productivity Tools in Research Writing as Perceived by Young Researchers
An Assessment of Acceptance and Utilization
Abstract
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) productivity tools has been one of the most useful tools in the modern days. Its significance to society, especially for academic purposes is an understatement. However, such technology has still been apprehended to be utilized especially in research. As such, the study assessed the awareness, acceptance, and utilization behavior among college and senior high school students in the use of common AI productivity tools relative to research writing. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) Model was adopted in this study to provide relevant information as well as correlate data towards information generated in this study as the basis for the development of a policy framework that can be further enhanced to maximize the potential of advanced technology. The data consolidated revealed that the level of acceptance as noted among the respondents is at a mean score of 5.0 equivalent to somewhat acceptable and the utilization behavior level is at 4.7 equivalent to somewhat utilizable. This result may be attributed to the risk of plagiarism and other intellectual property violations and concerns that AI poses in academic writing. Similarly, using the T-test and ANOVA test to determine if the acceptance and utilization level is influenced by sex, age, and education at an alpha level of 0.05, the statistics show that all of the mentioned variables do not influence the perception of acceptance and utilization among the respondents.
