Abstract
This study aimed to examine the attitudes of e-sports participants toward artificial intelligence (AI)
based on a variety of socio-demographic variables. A total of 206 e-sports participants selected through
convenience sampling were administered the "Attitude Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale" adapted
by Kaya et al. (2022). SPSS 29.0.1.0 (171) was used to analyse the data. For data analysis, the
Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were utilized. According to the results of the analysis, there was no
significant difference in the age variable, whereas the gender variable produced results that favoured
male e-sports participants. In addition, it was discovered that individuals who used technological
devices during exercise more frequently had a more positive attitude towards AI. In conclusion, men
participants have a more optimistic view of artificial intelligence than female participants. These results
illustrate the connection between technology usage and perception of artificial intelligence. It can be
hypothesized that individuals who frequently use technological devices during exercise are more
conversant with technology and, as a result, have a more favourable attitude towards artificial
intelligence. These results indicate that technology utilization influences the adoption and acceptance
of AI technologies.
