Abstract
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) humanoid bots/robots (AIHB/R), which integrate AI with robot technology to emulate human traits, has swiftly evolved and found applications in several sectors like healthcare, education, home support, industrial production, and entertainment. AIHB/R's decision-making process has become more complex due to incorporating AI, a fascinating element affecting public perceptions and attitudes towards these robots. This paper investigates this topic in the Turkish context based on data collected from 485 adults. A general finding is that participants have positive perceptions and attitudes towards (AIHB/R) and some concerns. We found significant gender differences between male and female participants regarding the use of AIHB/R in care and treatment services (CTS), administration and justice (AJ), and in the future (FC). No gender difference was found when using religious practice (RP). The educational level statistically correlated significantly with the total scale scores and the four sub-domains. CTS has a positive and moderately significant effect on accepting AIHB/R applications. The R2 value for this domain showed the highest explanatory power of the model with 0.829.
