In the context of the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into daily life, this study explores underexamined factors influencing adolescents’ intentions to adopt AI technology. Based on the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) framework, the study uses a structural equation model to investigate the relationships between parental mediation, AI literacy, trust in AI, perceived creepiness of AI, and intention to use AI. A sample of 853 adolescents participated in this study. The findings reveal that active parental mediation significantly enhances AI literacy, fosters trust in AI, and mitigates perceived creepiness of AI, thereby increasing adolescents’ intention to use AI technology. In contrast, restrictive parental mediation does not exhibit any significant effects on AI literacy or usage intentions. The findings highlight the critical role of family influence in adolescents’ adoption of AI, advocating for parents to take an active parental mediation to help adolescents benefit in the AI era.
