Description
Ana Lourdes Oropesa and colleagues report a 2026 survey of veterinary students in Spain and Portugal. They measured self-rated knowledge of artificial intelligence, actual use, and attitudes. The survey ran during the 2023–2024 academic year. It drew 340 undergraduate and postgraduate students from public and private institutions.
Nine scaled questions fed composite scores on a 0 to 100 scale. Scores differed clearly between institutions. Students with any prior AI training scored higher on knowledge and use. Their attitudes were also more positive, with strong statistical support. Formal training was limited in many institutions, so most learning was informal. Daily social media use linked weakly to higher scores. The authors urge deliberate teaching of AI literacy in veterinary courses.
