Evaluating the Intention for the Adoption of Artificial Intelligence-Based Robots in the University to Educate the Students

Abstract

Technology adoption is accepting, integrating, and using the latest innovative technologies in society. Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are changing the face of the industrial and service sectors. There is a need to change the traditional way of teaching by introducing the latest innovative methods. This study aims to measure the intention of adopting AI-based robots in the educational system of Indian universities. This study uses three theories technology acceptance model, the theory of planned behaviour, and the technology readiness index. Thirteen hypotheses are proposed for this study. The teachers and students survey Indian universities. This study also measures the users’ attitudes and the impact on their intention. Nine hypotheses got accepted, and four hypotheses got rejected. This study will benefit the university administration as they will understand the importance of AI-based robots and their applications. These will also be helpful in a way that the students and teachers both are in favours of the adoption process.
