AI Decision Support System Adoption in Dental Education: An Empirical PLS-SEM Study
Abstract
Despite their potential to enhance evidence-based clinical decision-making, adoption among dental students remains limited because of insufficient trust in AI-assisted diagnosis and inadequate understanding of the economic value of AI-supported dental care. This study investigated the effects of perceived diagnostic usefulness, trust, and digital financial literacy on behavioural intention and AI-CDSS adoption among dental students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 350 dental students
