Summary
This study looked at how well university students understand artificial intelligence (AI literacy) and how that relates to their grades, reading habits, smartphone addiction, and internet addiction. Researchers surveyed 184 students aged 18-35 using questionnaires. The goal was to see if good reading habits and strong grades boost AI literacy, while too much phone or internet use might hurt it.
