Abstract

This study examined how social media influence the knowledge gap between low and high socioeconomic status (SES) groups in artificial intelligence (AI), a highly debated scientific subject warranting immediate scholarly attention. A national survey of U.S. adults ( N = 965) was conducted. The results showed that education and social media exposure to AI information (SME) predicted greater AI knowledge, and SME did not moderate the SES-based AI knowledge gap. Furthermore, information elaboration moderated the association between SME and the AI knowledge gap. SME was associated with a smaller AI knowledge gap when information elaboration was high rather than low.

缩小人工智能的知识差距：社交媒体曝光和信息阐释的作用

本研究探讨了社交媒体如何影响社会经济地位低（SES）群体与社会经济地位高（SES）群体之间在人工智能（AI）方面的知识差距。我们对美国成年人（N = 965）进行了一次全国性调查。结果表明，教育程度和社交媒体上的人工智能信息（SME）预示着更多的人工智能知识，而SME并不能调节基于社会经济地位的人工智能知识差距。此外，信息阐述调节了 SME 与人工智能知识差距之间的关系。当信息阐述程度高而不是低时，中小型企业与人工智能知识差距较小相关。
