Abstract
AI acceptance was examined across 40 studies using meta-analytic structural equation modeling. Perceived usefulness and performance expectancy influenced acceptance indirectly through trust and attitudes, which predicted intention to use AI. Findings highlight trust and attitudes as key mediators, suggesting adapted models are needed to explain adult AI acceptance.
