Examining The Antecedents Of The Adoption Of Ai Technology Among Prospective Healthcare Workers

Abstract

Significant research has showcased the potential of artificial intelligence in healthcare and expanding its role in nursing education. For the technology to be implemented and sustainable, it needs to be used and willingly accepted. Prospective healthcare workers form their attitudes about certain technologies during schooling. The main goal of this paper is to examine the antecedents of the adoption of AI technology among prospective healthcare workers. When presenting technology to students, it is assumed that AI-based systems or applications have been tested and have security certifications. An integrated adoption model utilizes core dimensions of the UTAUT and TAM extended with trust and perceived substitution crisis. The model is planned to be evaluated. The results of this research will give insight into the readiness of students to accept AI technology and help teachers present emerging technologies in the right way to prospective healthcare workers through modern curricula.
