To comprehend the intricate relationships in the model, the authors used the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The results revealed that perceived usefulness (PU), subjective norm (SN), tech literacy (TL) and tech simplicity (TS) have a significant impact on students\u2019 intention to use AI applications. The intention to use AI chatbot applications significantly influences the adoption of AI chatbots in higher education. The findings indicated that the intention to use AI chatbots mediates the effect of PU, SN, TL and TS on the adoption of AI chatbots.
