Abstract :Aim: This study was planned to examine the knowledge and attitudes of academicians towards the use of artificial intelligence(AI) in the field of nutrition. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 248 academicians who agreed to participate in the study voluntarily between October 2024 and December 2024. An online survey form and Likert scoring charts were applied to the academicians who participated in the study. SPSS 25.0 package program was used to evaluate the data. Results: A total of 248 people, 136 (55%) female and 112 (45%) male, with an average age of 38.74±9.49 years, participated in the study. 73.4% of the academicians who participated in the study stated that they use artificial intelligence applications in their daily lives. 52.6% of male academicians and 53.8% of female academicians reported that they use artificial intelligence applications to assess nutritional status. While the average knowledge level score of male academics was 13.71±7.60 and the average attitude level score was 40.56±10.35, the average knowledge level score of female academics was 13.10±6.59 and the average attitude level score was 44.60±9.33. A statistically significant difference was found between the attitude level scores according to gender (p<0.05). Conclusion: Artificial intelligence applications in the field of nutrition are increasing day by day. The level of knowledge and attitude towards these applications differs between women and men. All health workers, especially dietitians, should receive training on current artificial intelligence algorithm applications and the accuracy of these applications, and the level of knowledge and attitude of the society on the subject should be examined more comprehensively.
