Abstract

Purpose This study aims to investigate factors that positively influence the continuous Artificial Intelligence(AI) Learning Continuity of business major students. Design/methodology/approach To evaluate the impact of AI education, a survey was conducted among 119 business-related majors who completed a software/AI course. Frequency analysis was employed to examine the general characteristics of the sample. Furthermore, factor analysis using Varimax rotation was conducted to validate the derived variables from the survey items, and Cronbach's α coefficient was used to measure the reliability of the variables. Findings Positive correlations were observed between business major students' AI Learning Continuity and their AI Interest, AI Awareness, and Data Analysis Capability related to their majors. Additionally, the study identified that AI Project Awareness and AI Literacy Capability play pivotal roles as mediators in fostering AI Learning Continuity. Students who acquired problem-solving skills and related technologies through AI Projects Awareness showed increased motivation for AI Learning Continuity. Lastly, AI Self-Efficacy significantly influences students' AI Learning Continuity.
