Developing and Validating a Multidimensional AI Literacy Questionnaire: Operationalizing AI Literacy for Higher Education

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) permeates numerous aspects of daily life, fostering AI literacy in highereducation becomes vital. This study presents the development and validation of an AI LiteracyQuestionnaire designed to assess AI literacy across four dimensions, i.e., knowledge-related,operational, critical, and ethical. The questionnaire builds upon the frameworks proposed by Cuomo etal. (2022) and covers a broad spectrum of skills and knowledge, offering a comprehensive and versatiletool for measuring AI literacy. The instrument's reliability and construct validity have been confirmedthrough rigorous statistical analyses on data collected from a sample of university students. This studyacknowledges the challenges posed by the lack of a universally accepted definition of AI literacy andproposes this questionnaire as a robust starting point for further research and development. The AILiteracy Questionnaire provides a crucial resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers as theynavigate the complexities of AI literacy in an increasingly AI-infused world
