| contents | <p>Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been developing in several ways that can generate new content, which has an<br>impact on the media industry and the community. This study uses a quantitative research approach, which<br>aims to determine the relationship between levels of exposure to hyper-realistic AI-generated content and<br>levels of media literacy of computer engineering students at Bulacan State University. A total of 40<br>respondents answered the validated online questionnaire, containing the demographic profile, assessment of<br>AI exposure, and an evaluation of media literacy using Likert scales and a human-AI identification test. The<br>collected data were gathered using frequency distribution, weighted mean, standard deviation, and<br>Spearman’s rho correlation at a 0.05 significance level. The results revealed that students often encountered<br>hyper-realistic AI-generated content (overall weighted mean = 4.07). The respondents reported that they<br>often encountered the diversion of AI formats (overall weighted mean = 4.12). The students highly<br>understand the concept of AI-generated content and how to use it in other ways (overall weighted mean =<br>4.66). They also have a high sense of digital responsibility in determining the authenticated content across<br>social media platforms (overall weighted mean = 4.54). Spearman’s rho indicated a weak relationship (ρ =<br>0.299) between exposure to hyper-realistic AI-generated content and media literacy. Their relationship is not<br>statistically significant (ρ = 0.061). This research concluded that the digital experiences of the respondents<br>are part of their everyday lives, revealing that they are frequently exposed to AI-generated images, videos,<br>and music. This also fosters the media analytical and technical skills development. The findings revealed<br>that the computer engineering students have a high level of media literacy as they can recognize algorithmic<br>patterns and validate sources effectively.</p> <p><br>Keywords: hyper-realistic AI, media literacy, AI-generated content, AI exposure, computer engineering<br>students</p> |
