Development of the “Scale for the assessment of non-experts’ AI literacy” – An exploratory factor analysis

Open access

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence competencies will become increasingly important in the near future. Therefore, it is essential that the AI literacy of individuals can be assessed in a valid and reliable way. This study presents the development of the “Scale for the assessment of non-experts' AI literacy” (SNAIL). An existing AI literacy item set was distributed as an online questionnaire to a heterogeneous group of non-experts (i.e., individuals without a formal AI or computer science education). Based on the data collected, an exploratory factor analysis was conducted to investigate the underlying latent factor structure. The results indicated that a three-factor model had the best model fit. The individual factors reflected AI competencies in the areas of “Technical Understanding”, “Critical Appraisal”, and “Practical Application”. In addition, eight items from the original questionnaire were deleted based on high intercorrelations and low communalities to reduce the length of the questionnaire. The final SNAIL-questionnaire consists of 31 items that can be used to assess the AI literacy of individual non-experts or specific groups and is also designed to enable the evaluation of AI literacy courses’ teaching effectiveness.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
