Abstract

This paper investigates the attitudes of higher vocational college students in China towards artificial intelligence (AI). Through a semi-structured interview approach, 20 students from diverse majors were interviewed to delve into their understanding and attitudes (both positive and negative) towards AI. The study finds that students’ comprehension of AI is closely tied to their academic majors, with AI majors possessing a comprehensive knowledge of AI technologies, concepts, and applications. In contrast, non-AI majors exhibit a relatively limited understanding. Despite this disparity, higher vocational college students generally hold a positive attitude toward AI, recognising its ability to enhance convenience in daily life, improve efficiency in learning and work, and create new employment opportunities. However, some higher vocational college students also express uncertainty and concerns about AI’s impact on their career development. This research provides valuable insights for higher vocational colleges to adjust their educational policies and enhance students’ AI literacy in the AI era.
