A Pilot Study in Korea for Implementing Artificial Intelligence Smart Poultry Farm Appropriate Technology Camp in Tanzania

Abstract

Since the pandemic, the study purposed to derive improvements of the educational program through pilot operation for youth in Korea before local application to disseminate artificial intelligence smart poultry farm in Tanzania. For this purpose, we developed an artificial intelligence smart poultry farm appropriate technology camp program, and 49 high school students participated in this pilot study for two days. After the pilot operation, a questionnaire was conducted to measure students' perception and experience of artificial intelligence through this appropriate technology camp. The questionnaire consisted of 22 questions measuring the perception of artificial intelligence by the Likert scale and 1 question describing the participation experience. Students' perception of artificial intelligence was primarily composed of three areas: value perception (6 questions), efficacy (4 questions), and risk perception (12 questions). As a result, students' value perception (M=4.30, SD=.491) and efficacy (M=4.42, SD=.487) to artificial intelligence were high. However, the risk perception (M=3.42, SD=1.023) was relatively low. In addition, through this appropriate technology camp, students' motivation to learn artificial intelligence improved, their interest in careers and jobs related to artificial intelligence increased, and they had a negative perception and a positive impact on society due to artificial intelligence.
