Abstract

This research investigates the influence of digital literacy on the civic disposition of students, with the use of AI as a moderating variable. The study employs an explanatory survey design. An online Likert-scale questionnaire was used to gather data from students in the Information Technology Study Program at Universitas Tidar  who took the Citizenship Education course. The instrument has been tested for validity and reliability through a pilot study. Linear regression and moderation regression were used to evaluate the data. The findings suggest that digital literacy had a significant and positive effect on civic disposition, explaining 60.8% of its variance, while the use of AI has not been proven to significantly moderate the relationship. However, when positioned as an independent variable, AI usage actually has a direct and substantial impact on civic disposition, with the combined model explaining 73.2% of its variance. These findings imply that the formation of students’ civic disposition in the periode of AI disruption requires strengthening digital literacy alongside the capacity to utilize AI critically and responsibly as two complementary competencies.
