The growing significance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across different fields highlights the essential role of user acceptance, as the success of this technology largely depends on its adoption and practical use by individuals. This research aims to examine how perceived cybersecurity, novelty value, and perceived trust affect students' willingness to accept AI in educational settings. The study's theoretical basis is the AI Device Use Acceptance (AIDUA) model. Using structural equation modeling, the study tested hypothesized relationships using data from 526 students at Jordanian universities. The results showed that social influence is positively associated with performance expectancy, while perceived cybersecurity is positively related to both performance and effort expectancy. Novelty value is positively associated with performance expectancy but a negative one with effort expectancy. Additionally, effort and performance expectancy significantly influence perceived trust and the willingness to accept AI. Moreover, perceived trust has a notable positive effect on the willingness to accept AI in education. These findings provide valuable guidance for the creation and improvement of AI-driven educational systems in universities, contributing to the broader understanding of AI technology acceptance in the educational field.

While many small and medium enterprises (SMEs)recognize the benefits of Big Data Analytics (BDA) for digital transformation, they face challenges in implementing this technology, highlighting the need for more research on its adoption by SMEs. The objective of this study is to amalgamate the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework with the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory, aiming to dissect the factors that sway BDA adoption in Jordanian SMEs. Additionally, the study delves into how perceived usefulness impacts this adoption process. Utilizing structural equation modeling, the study examined data from 388 managers in Jordan. The study validates all its hypotheses, revealing that variables like relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, top management support, competitive pressure, and security influence perceived usefulness, which subsequently has a positive impact on BDA adoption. This research presents a range of theoretical and practical insights.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a frequent condition in which the body's sugar levels are abnormally high for an extended length of time. It is a major cause of death with high mortality rates and the second leading cause of total years lived with disability worldwide. Its seriousness comes from its long-term complications, including nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy leading to kidney failure, poor vision and blindness, and peripheral sensory loss, respectively. Such conditions are life-threatening and affect patients’ quality of life. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the most relevant features in the diagnosis of DM and identify the best classifier that can efficiently diagnose DM based on a set of relevant features. To achieve this, four different feature selection methods have been utilized. Moreover, twelve different classifiers that belong to six learning strategies have been evaluated using two datasets and several evaluation metrics such as Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-measure, and ROC area. The obtained results revealed that the correlation attribute evaluation method would be the best choice to handle the task of feature selection and ranking for the considered datasets, especially when considering the Accuracy metric. Furthermore, MultiClassClassifier would be the best classifier to handle Diabetes datasets, especially when considering True Positive, precision, and Recall metrics.
