Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be defined as a technological field developed to simulate, extend and improve human intelligence. We can say that the age we are in now is the age of AI. Knowing how to read and write no longer means literacy. This is manifested in the development of new types of literacy such as digital, media, environmental and financial literacy. In the AI age, it is very important for people to be AI literate and to know the requirements of this age. Although AI literacy is closely related to computer and digital literacy, it is different from them. Therefore, measuring people's AI literacy levels is important for both individual and society. Because today, there is no digital platform where AI technology is not integrated. AI literacy was conceptualized in 2022 and a scale was developed. However, there is no scale for Turkish. This study was conducted to adapt the AI literacy scale (YAPZEKO) for Turkish. The scale was adapted with the data collected from 536 people between the ages of 18-60 in Sivas province. As a result of the research, it was confirmed that the scale has a 4-dimensional structure explaining 92.24% of the total variance. Within the scope of the reliability study, it was found that the Cronbach's alpha (α) reliability coefficient was .939 and the indicators for confirmatory factor analysis were above the perfect limit. These results showed that the adapted scale is a valid and reliable scale that can be applied in the field of AI literacy. It is thought that the developed scale will fill the gap in the literature for Turkish and contribute to the realization of many studies.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence literacy, literacy, scale adaptation.
