Artificial Intelligence refers to the capability of machines to perform tasks that typically need human intelligence such as learning, problem solving, and decision making. It incorporates a wide range of technologies and techniques that enable computers to mimic cognitive functions and exhibit human like capabilities. Attitude is a mental tendency that how someone thinks, feels, or behaves towards something's or someone in a positive or negative way. Attitudes towards AI are influenced by perceived usefulness, ease of use, and the risks associated with AI. These attitudes, in turn, influence an individual's intentions to use AI or not. Undergraduate students play a vital and growing role in the field of artificial intelligence contributing across academics, research, skill development and real world innovation. Therefore, their attitudes are very important in this perspective. The objective of this article is to examine college students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence. Stratified random sampling was used for selecting the sample comprising of 203 (Male=58 and female=145) undergraduate students from Serampore College, affiliated to University of Calcutta, West Bengal, India. Descriptive survey research design was used. The General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Scale (GAAIS) was used to collect data. Data were analysed by using Mean, SD, t-test, ANOVA. The result indicated that undergraduate students display positive attitudes towards AI. The finding discovered that no significant difference in regard to attitudes towards artificial intelligence between male and female students. The result also displayed that there was a significant difference in regard to residence of student's attitudes towards artificial intelligence in positive subscale but no significant difference in regard to residence of student's attitudes in negative subscale.
