Letramento digital em inteligência artificial generativa : um estudo com os discentes do curso de secretariado executivo da Universidade Federal de Sergipe

Abstract

This research analyzes the level of digital literacy in Generative Artificial Intelligence among students of the Executive Secretarial course at the Federal University of Sergipe. It is characterized as descriptive and exploratory research, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. Data was collected from the students of the Executive Secretarial course, with the general objective of investigating their theoretical knowledge, practical use, and critical thinking about Generative Artificial Intelligence. The analyses demonstrate that the participants possess adequate theoretical understanding and frequently use Generative Artificial Intelligence tools. Fragility is evident in the comprehension of algorithmic bias mechanisms and in the strategic application of these technologies. It is concluded that digital literacy is at an intermediate stage, indicating the need for formal incorporation of the theme into the curriculum for better preparation of future executive secretaries to meet the demands of digital transformation.
