Key Points

  • This research investigates how gender, experience, age, and expectations impact future AI usage among entrepreneurship students.
  • Analyzed data from 208 entrepreneurship students
  • Applied binary logistic regression with random oversampling
  • Evaluated model performance using confusion matrix and ROC curve
  • Prior experience with AI is linked to increased future usage
  • Older students show more favorable technology use patterns
  • Positive expectations about AI correlate with higher usage likelihood
  • Women are more likely to use AI when they see utility and feel confident

Abstract

Based on data from 208 students involved in entrepreneurship studies at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico, this paper examines whether prior experience with AI, expectations, gender, and age reinforce future AI use. To achieve this objective, we applied binary logistic regression with random oversampling to balance the dataset. We complemented it with additional model performance metrics, including the confusion matrix, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the ROC curve. The results show that prior experience with AI, age-related technology use, and positive expectations regarding AI are associated with a higher likelihood of reinforcing future AI use. In terms of gender, the results indicate a gender gap favoring women, who are more likely to use AI when they perceive greater utility and confidence, as well as a stronger desire to succeed.
