Abstract

BACKGROUND: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into daily life raises significant challenges and uncertainties, notably concerning job security and skill relevance. This has led to the emergence of 'AI anxiety'-a stress response to potential impacts of AI on individuals' futures. This study examines AI anxiety's effects on individuals' willingness to pay for knowledge, focusing on the roles of perceived value and self-efficacy.
