About
Rabih Hallit is a leading researcher in the psychological and psychometric dimensions of emerging technologies, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and human-AI interaction in the Arab world. His most impactful work involves the rigorous cross-cultural validation of measurement instruments, notably leading the multinational validation of the first Arabic version of the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale (AILS) among university students across four Arab countries (14 citations). This contribution provides a critical, culturally-adapted tool for assessing AI readiness in Arabic-speaking populations. Hallit also investigates the psychological barriers to technology adoption, exploring how personality traits and perceptions of a "dark future" mediate fear of AI and autonomous robots. His work on the Arabic translation of the Fear of Autonomous Robots and Artificial Intelligence (FARAI) scale (4 citations) further establishes his role in adapting global psychometric standards for regional contexts. By bridging psychometrics, personality psychology, and technology acceptance, Hallit’s research offers essential insights for educators, policymakers, and developers aiming to foster informed and resilient engagement with AI in non-Western settings.
