Perceived classmate GenAI use was associated with lower trust, while perceived AI literacy attenuated the direct link

Zhen Zhang, Jiaying Geng, Chunhui Qi

Behavioral Sciences

A cross-sectional survey of 406 students at two institutions found that perceiving a classmate as using more GenAI was associated with lower perceived warmth, competence and interpersonal trust. Perceived target AI literacy weakened only the direct association, while the design cannot establish that AI use caused distrust.
