Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Within Different Physical Activity Profiles

The aim of this study is to compare artificial intelligence anxiety (AIA) in athletes and sedentary individuals, evaluate its relationship with exercise frequency, and identify the subdimensions that cause high anxiety at the level of AIA scale items.

About this study

The study will include healthy individuals aged between 18 and 45 years who either engage in regular exercise or lead a sedentary lifestyle. Participants with regular exercise or sports habits and those who are sedentary will be compared in terms of their anxiety levels toward artificial intelligence. Prior to assessment, written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. Additionally, demographic and health-related data will be collected, including age, sex, weight, height, presence of chronic diseases, medication use, history of surgical operations, frequency of daily activities, pain status, and alcohol or tobacco use. Data collection will be conducted using the Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale.

Primary outcomes

Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale

Time frame: baseline

The Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale (AIAS) is an assessment tool that asks each participant to reflect on their current experiences. It is a 7-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 1 (not at all) to 7 (completely). The scale consists of four subdimensions: learning, job replacement, socio-technical blindness, and AI configuration. The total score ranges from a minimum of 21 to a maximum of 147. Higher scores indicate higher levels of anxiety experienced in relation to artificial intelligence.
