Negotiating Ethical Coexistence with AI: A Grounded Theory of Japanese Students’ Conditional Trust, Agency, and the Development of Critical AI Literacy

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly reshaping how students learn, reason, and create, raising pressing questions about agency, trust, and moral responsibility. While information systems (IS) research has emphasized organizational governance and design ethics, less is known about how students develop ethical awareness in everyday AI use. This study applies a systematic grounded theory lens to a mixed-format survey of 69 Japanese university students. We develop a process model of how student…
