Background & Objectives
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools show great potential in creating health education materials, but factors influencing adoption remain underexplored. This study investigates these factors among medical students using an extended UTAUT model.
Methodology & Data
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 691 medical students in Chongqing, China. Data analysis included hierarchical logistic regression and qualitative content analysis, integrating core UTAUT constructs with content perception variables (PSCG, PUCG, PCCG, PMCG).
Key Findings & Drivers
Among participants, 45.4% used AI tools. Clinical medicine majors (OR=2.096) and paid AI tool users (OR=2.789) were strong predictors. Social influence (OR=1.268) and facilitating conditions (OR=1.561) were significant positive predictors. Lower educational levels were associated with higher AI tool use (OR=0.732).
Implications & Limitations
Social influence and facilitating conditions are more strongly associated with AI tool experience than content quality perceptions. Enhancing these conditions and providing targeted training can promote effective AI use. Limitations include convenience sampling, self-developed scales, and binary experience measurement.

The Power of Social Influence in AI Adoption
Our findings indicate that social influence (OR=1.268) and facilitating conditions (OR=1.561) are key drivers for AI tool adoption among medical students, even more so than perceptions of content quality. This highlights the importance of peer networks and institutional support in driving technology acceptance, echoing Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory. For enterprises, fostering a supportive community and providing robust infrastructure are paramount for successful AI integration.
