Abstract

Generative AI tools are breakthrough technologies used in many sectors, including education. However, using these advanced technologies requires careful and responsible use that is in line with the principles of academic integrity, ethics, and responsible use to avoid inaccurate data and bias. The AI literacy with its dimensions and the responsible use of AI, and their relationship are still under-researched. This study aims to examine the levels of AI literacy and responsible use among prospective teachers and how the relationship of AI literacy and its dimensions correlates and predicts responsible use of AI. A total of 118 respondents, 95 female and 23 male prospective teachers, took part in the survey. Data were analysed using descriptive, correlational, and inferential statistics. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between AI literacy and responsible use of AI, in which the six dimensions of AI literacy: intrinsic motivation, selfefficacy, behaviour commitment, collaboration, knowledge, and understanding of AI and ethical learning were examined. Among them, the intrinsic motivation towards AI is the most significant predictor of responsive AI usage. AI literacy among prospective teachers was high and should be promoted to a higher level of responsible use of AI in education and academic writing.
