This study analyzes the impact of artificial intelligence on youth digital political engagement through a Structural Equation Modeling approach. The development of algorithmic technology has changed the way young people access, assess, and react to political information, requiring an empirical understanding of its mechanisms of influence. This study explores how digital literacy, trust in AI, and perceived usefulness shape online political participation. Data was obtained from an online questionnaire targeting individuals aged 17-30 who are active with AI, then analyzed using the SEM-PLS 4 method. The main findings reveal that digital literacy and trust in AI have a strong influence on perceived usefulness, which acts as a key mediator in encouraging such participation. This indicates that the impact of AI is not direct, but rather occurs through cognitive processes that guide young people in assessing the benefits of technology. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of strengthening digital literacy, algorithm transparency, and responsible AI implementation to strengthen inclusive youth political participation in the digital environment.
