Design strategies for artificial intelligence based future learning centers in medical universities.

Background: This study explores the acceptance of artificial intelligence(AI) tools in medical students and its influencing factors, thus providing theoretical basis and practical guidance for the construction of future learning centers in medical universities.

Methods: This study comprehensively applied the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology(UTAUT), expectancy confirmation theory (ECT), and innovation diffusion theory (IDT) to analyze the data through structural equation modeling.

Results: Effort expectancy (EE), facilitating condition (FC), social influence (SI), and satisfaction (SA) significantly influence medical students' continuance intention (CI) to use artificial intelligence tools. Relative advantage (RA) has a significant impact on medical students' satisfaction (SA) with artificial intelligence tools. Personal innovativeness (PI) plays a significant positive moderating role in the relationships between facilitating condition (FC) and continuance intention (CI), as well as between satisfaction (SA) and continuance intention (CI).

Conclusions: The construction of AI-based future learning centers in medical universities should attach importance to providing personalized learning paths, ensuring technical support and training, creating a collaborative and innovative environment, and showcasing the comparative advantage of tools.
