The Dark Side of Generative AI
Today, generative AI enables the creation of nearly any type of content within seconds at a user′s request. This request is not a cryptic command entered into a dark terminal but rather a prompt written or spoken in natural language via user‐friendly interfaces. This transformative technology has made AI tools widely accessible to the public. As generative AI continues to attract attention and experience rapid global adoption, its darker aspects …
Believing the unreal
Deepfakes use artificial intelligence to create manipulated media that look so realistic, they are increasingly shaping how individuals interact with information online. However, urgent concerns have been raised about their impact on public and media literacy. While technical advancements in detection are growing, the human factors influencing perceptions and behaviors, and the impact of deepfakes on society and culture remain underexplored. To a…
Role of AI characteristics, AI literacy, and institutional policy in shaping generative AI use and learning outcomes among higher education students
This study develops and empirically tests a comprehensive model explaining generative AI (GenAI) use among higher education students by integrating AI characteristics (perceived animacy, intelligence, and anthropomorphism) and user characteristics (self-efficacy, personal innovativeness, and AI literacy). It further examines the moderating role of institutional policy on the relationships between GenAI use, learning performance, and satisfaction.…
Influencers of environmentally responsible behaviour in tourism destinations
In recent decades, environmentally responsible behaviour (ERB) has attracted significant attention across different disciplines. However, empirical studies investigating the key drivers of ERB within tourism destinations remain scarce in emerging countries settings. This gap is especially clear in under-researched regions such as Oman, where understanding the factors influencing ERB is crucial for promoting sustainable tourism development. As a r…
AI in higher education
This study examines the potentials and challenges of integrating conversational AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools in higher education. Specifically, the study delves into how ChatGPT is reshaping teaching, learning, research, and student evaluation while addressing ethical concerns such as academic integrity. We employ a qualitative research design based on semi-structured interviews with 12 highly accomplished academicians from North America, A…
Examining students' continuous use of online learning in the post-Covid-19 era
Purpose This study investigated the impact of the virtualization requirements of the learning process on students' satisfaction and their intention to continue using online learning. Design/methodology/approach A research model was developed using the process virtualization theory (PVT); it was validated empirically using data obtained from an online questionnaire-based survey of 489 undergraduate students. Findings The main results support the r…
Examining the effect of regulatory factors on avoiding online blackmail threats on social media
Customer experiences in the age of artificial intelligence
Keeping customers' data secure
Employees’ behavioural intention to smartphone security
Examining the moderating effect of individual-level cultural values on users’ acceptance of E-learning in developing countries
In this study, we examine the effects of individual-level culture on the adoption and acceptance of e-learning tools by students in Lebanon using a theoretical framework based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). To overcome possible limitations of using TAM in developing countries, we extend TAM to include subjective norms (SN) and quality of work life constructs as additional constructs and a number of cultural variables as moderators. The…
