    (INFLIBNET Centre Gandhinagar, 2025-12-01) Vijayakumar, M; Sahoo, Jyotshna; KT, Naheem
    This study adopted a quantitative method to assess the Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy level of research scholars affiliated with Pondicherry University, India. A total of 60 respondents from various departments coming under the departments of Science and Social Science streams participated in this online survey that explored their level of AI literacy in the five key components, such as knowledge and understanding of AI, skills in using AI tools for research, ethical awareness and critical thinking, and attitudes and perceptions toward AI. The findings of this study highlight significant gaps in AI literacy among research scholars, particularly in distinguishing AI concepts, the practical application of AI tools, and ethical practice. Despite strong foundational knowledge and positive attitudes toward AI, scholars hesitate to integrate AI into their research processes and consistently cite AI-generated material. This study calls for developing AI literacy modules and training programs across India's higher education sector
