Artificial intelligence anxiety and technology-induced unemployment concerns of aviation management students

Artificial intelligence technologies are constantly increasing the investment they attract due to the increase in usage and demand. Technologies used by almost every sector continue to become widespread in our daily lives. However, since the introduction of the concept of artificial intelligence, there have been periods when different views have been dominant about these technologies, which have been the center of attention. Especially the discussion of the future of artificial intelligence caused important countries investing in the field to attract their investments from time to time, and two Artificial Intelligence Winters were experienced. Although it has positive contributions such as increasing productivity, reducing costs and reducing the margin of error, it is seen that it causes loss of employment. There is no different situation in the aviation sector. Artificial intelligence technologies, which are used extensively in all areas of aviation, pose a threat to reduce the number of people working in some professions. Unemployment anxiety, especially among students, has increased with the developments in artificial intelligence. In the study, undergraduate students of Aviation Management department were examined and artificial intelligence concerns and technology-related unemployment concerns were investigated. The collected data were analyzed by Independent T Test.
