This study probes the mechanism of artificial intelligence's (AI's) influence on Chinese college students' willingness to participate in online politics and constructs a theoretical model based on the theory of planned behavior. Through the analysis of questionnaire data acquired from up to 317 Chinese college students in total, it turns out that the use of AI affects Chinese college students' willingness to the participation of online political practice significantly and positively, and such online political participation cognition of Chinese college students plays a mediating role, three aspects of which included as the followings on behavioral attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control.

All the findings highlight the importance of optimizing the online political participation environment, enhancing college students' cognition of political participation, and improving media literacy in the context of the digital era, which provides practical guidance for promoting healthy and positive online political participation among college students.
本研究旨在探讨人工智能（AI）对中国大学生参与网络政治意愿的影响机制，并基于计划行为理论构建了一个理论模型。通过对来自全国 317 名大学生的问卷调查数据进行分析，结果表明，AI 的使用对中国大学生参与网络政治实践的意愿具有显著的积极影响，而大学生对网络政治参与的认知在其中起到了中介作用，具体表现在行为态度、主观规范和感知行为控制三个方面。此外，媒介素养水平在网络政治参与认知和参与意愿之间起到了调节作用。这些发现强调了在数字时代背景下优化网络政治参与环境、增强大学生对政治参与的认知以及提高媒介素养的重要性，为促进大学生健康积极的网络政治参与提供了实践指导。
