Abstract :In order for artificial intelligence based systems to be completely functional and successful, users\\\' attitudes and perceptions about artificial intelligence need to be carefully examined. It was aimed at adapting the general attitude scale regarding artificial intelligence into Turkish and determining its validity and reliability with the data collected from patients. The \\\"General Attitude Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale,\\\" which consists of 20 items, was used to evaluate the general attitude toward artificial intelligence. The study involved 329 participants. 329 participants in total, ranging in age from 18 to 65, took part in the research. Of the participants, 111 (34%) were men and 218 (66%) were women. Cronbach Alpha values for positive, negative, and general attitudes are 0.917, 0.827, and 0.871, respectively. The mean score for positive attitudes is 3.40, 2.99 for negative attitudes and 3.19 for the overall mean. The results of the study demonstrate that the Turkish version of the \\\"General Attitude Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale\\\" can be considered a reliable and valid measurement tool that is appropriate for usage in our country. The scale might be considered a crucial instrument for distinguishing attitudes toward the positive and negative aspects of artificial intelligence. It is believed to be beneficial to the studies to be conducted in health services and with patients.
