Abstract: 【Purpose/significance】This paper explores the influencing factors of digital literacy education for graduate students in uni⁃ versities in the era of artificial intelligence, analyzes the configuration paths among the influencing factors, reveals the internal mecha⁃ nism affecting digital literacy education for graduate students in universities, and provides theoretical support and practical guidance for optimizing digital literacy education for graduate students in universities and improving their digital literacy.【Method/process】 Based on the current situation of digital literacy education for graduate students in colleges and universities in the era of artificial intel⁃ ligence, this paper explores the connotation and characteristics of digital literacy education for graduate students in colleges and uni⁃ versities in the era of artificial intelligence through research and analysis of domestic and foreign research literature, combs out the in⁃ fluencing factors of digital literacy education for graduate students in colleges and universities, and collects relevant data through em⁃ pirical research. The configuration path between the condition variable and the result variable is analyzed in detail by using the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method, and the internal mechanism affecting the digital education effect of graduate students in universities is revealed【. Result/conclusion】The research finds that the influencing factors of digital literacy education for graduate stu⁃ dents in universities include personal willingness, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, educational organization, educational technology and educational conditions. There is a complex relationship between internal factors and external factors, and correspond⁃ ing effects are produced through three configuration paths. That is, the configuration path led by internal factors and external factors, the configuration path led by external factors and the configuration path led by internal factors【. Innovation/limitation】In the context of the era of artificial intelligence, TOE theory is combined with the integrated technology acceptance model to build a theoretical model affecting the digital literacy education of college graduate students in the era of artificial intelligence, and fsQCA is used to explore the complex relationship between variables, which has certain innovation.
