Factors influencing initial public acceptance of integrating the ChatGPT-type model with government services

Abstract

PurposeIntegrating the Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer-type (ChatGPT-type) model with government services has great development prospects. Applying this model improves service efficiency but has certain risks, thus having a dual impact on the public. For a responsible and democratic government, it is necessary to fully understand the factors influencing public acceptance and their causal relationships to truly encourage the public to accept and use government ChatGPT-type services.Design/methodology/approachThis study used the Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model to analyze comment texts and summarize 15 factors that affect public acceptance. Multiple-related matrices were established using the grey decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (grey-DEMATEL) method to reveal causal relationships among factors. From the two opposite extraction rules of result priority and cause priority, the authors obtained an antagonistic topological model with comprehensive influence values using the total adversarial interpretive structure model (TAISM).FindingsFifteen factors were categorized in terms of cause and effect, and the antagonistic topological model with comprehensive influence values was also analyzed. The analysis showed that perceived risk, trust and meeting demand were the three most critical factors of public acceptance. Meanwhile, perceived risk and trust directly affected public acceptance and were affected by other factors. Supervision and accountability had the highest driving power and acted as the causal factor to influence other factors.Originality/valueThis study identified the factors affecting public acceptance of integrating the ChatGPT-type model with government services. It analyzed the relationship between the factors to provide a reference for decision-makers. This study introduced TAISM to form the LDA-grey-DEMATEL-TAISM method to provide an analytical paradigm for studying similar influencing factors.

UTAUT Model Mediated by Government Information System to the Intention to Use of Indonesian Local Government

“…By investigating the different variables of interest in each theory and comparing different theoretical constructs, they hope to develop a model that takes into account the different technological factors and beliefs that drive adoption decisions. As UTAUT continues to grow, Yang & Wang, (2023) himself along with several other researchers develop and continue to refine various other relevant approaches. More deeply, related to UTAUT in this study includes: definition, dimensions, roles and consequences of each variable.…”

E-Government in Nigeria: Can Generative AI Serve as a Tool for Civic Engagement?

“…The ability to produce on-demand content that closely mimics human expression opens up transformative possibilities across sectors. In the civic sphere, generative AI could revolutionise how citizens interact with government, access information, and participate in decision-making processes through intuitive conversational interfaces and personalised content generation (Vrabie, 2023;Yang & Wang, 2023).…”
