Abstract

AI development is transforming entrepreneurship education into a more adaptive digital approach for strengthening students’ entrepreneurial intention. This study examines the contribution of AI-based Digital Literacy and Entrepreneurial Cognition through Digital Entrepreneurship Education. Using a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected from 210 students out of a population of 460 who were enrolled in digital entrepreneurship courses. The data were gathered through a 1–7 Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using SEM-PLS. The findings show that Digital Literacy and Entrepreneurial Cognition positively and significantly influence Digital Entrepreneurship Education and Entrepreneurial Intention. Digital Entrepreneurship Education also significantly affects Entrepreneurial Intention and mediates both relationships, highlighting its role in enhancing students’ entrepreneurial interest in the AI-driven digital era.
