Abstract
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
