Research on training and/or L&D effectiveness is predominantly conducted in a traditional L&D context. Little research is conducted on training and/or L&D in the context of artificial intelligence (AI)-based learning. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between the adoption of AI-based learning systems and learners’ behavior. Drawing from the theory of planned behavior, the research examines the impact of attitude (ATT), subjective norm (SN) and perceived behavioral control (PBC) as AI-based learning intention (ALI) factors relate to changes in learners' behavior. Additionally, inspired by the self-determination theory by Deci and Ryan, the study further examines the mediating role of learner engagement between ALI and behavioral change.

Following a theoretical framework and using a systematic literature review method, the survey research has been planned by considering a sample from Indian industries. The collected data have been analyzed using SPSS-AMOS 27. While path analysis has been conducted to analyze the direct impact of ALI on learners' behavior, Hay’s PROCESS macro has been used to check the mediating impact of learner engagement between ALI and learners' behavior.

The results proved a significant and positive impact of all ALI factors such as ATT, SN and PBC on learners’ behavioral change. Further, the research found that learning engagement (LE) successfully mediates between AI learning intention and behavioral change.

In the absence of any empirical study in identifying the relationship among learning intention, LE and behavioral outcome, the result of this study may provide useful insights to researchers and practitioners.
