Based on the "brakes" model of self-control, this study sought to analyze if psychopathy traits are related to Artificial Intelligence use, and whether low levels of self-control mediate this hypothetical relation. A cross-sectional study involving 1687 undergraduate students was conducted. Psychopathy traits predicted more use of artificial intelligence, as well as using these tools to do academic work instead of the student and to create fake content. However, self-control just mediated the link between psychopathy traits and the frequency of Artificial Intelligence use, suggesting that the misuse of Artificial Intelligence tools might be planned rather than impulsive behavior.
