The effect of Artificial Intelligence on academic performance among Administrative Sciences students at the Universidad Católica Boliviana. Edu. Sup. Rev. Cient.

Social-cognitive theory has served as the framework for research in various areas of knowledge, including the adoption of technology. The objective of this research is to determine which social-cognitive factors influence the intention to use artificial intelligence and have an impact on academic performance. The responses of 48 Administrative Sciences students were included in this exploratory study using 31 items with a 5-point Likert scale. Specifically, this study has established that ethics has a highly significant effect on self-efficacy and motivation, moreover, outcome expectations have a highly significant effect on the intention to use, and, the latter on academic performance. Therefore, this research has established that ethics, self-efficacy, motivation and outcome expectations are very good predictors of the intention to use Artificial Intelligence and academic performance. The moderate and highly significant total effects of ethics on all other variables of the model suggest that it is necessary to study with greater emphasis the role of ethics in the adoption of Artificial Intelligence and academic performance in higher education.
