Abstract
Artificial Intelligence is changing the approach to education. This article aims to know the educational perceived usefulness of ChatGPT by university students. The instrument used is the UTAUT2 Scale, which measures the use of new technologies, based on eight factors: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, habit and use intention. The sample consists of 152 students from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (79.2% girls, 20.8% boys), with an average age of 21.3 years. The results show that use experience is the factor that most influences facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation and habit. The five factors influencing the perceived usefulness of ChatGPT are habit, facilitating conditions, performance expectancy, hedonic motivation and price value. These findings suggest the need to develop digital literacy activities on the use of ChatGPT from a critical perspective, to encourage the responsible use of this technology and to provide guidance to students on writing instructions that generate an accurate response.
