Rapid digital transformation has led to an increase in the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology in various aspects of the lives of Indonesian people. The use of AI technologies such as chatbots and digital assistants not only serves as technical aids, but also has the potential to meet users' basic psychological needs. This study aims to adapt and validate the Indonesian version of the Basic Psychological Needs for Technology Use (BPN-TU) scale and test the structure of the factors using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Participants consisted of 304 individuals aged 15-30 years who had experience using AI technology. The results of the analysis showed that the four-factor model (autonomy, competence, attachment to others and attachment to technology) had an excellent model match with (CFI = 0.961); TLI = 0.947; IFI = 0.962; NFI = 0.934; GFI = 0.943; RMSEA = 0.066; SRMR = 0.039). All items showed significant loading factor (0.592–0.872) and adequate R² values (0.350–0.760). These findings confirm that the Indonesian version of BPN-TU is a valid and reliable measurement tool in measuring the fulfillment of basic psychological needs in the use of AI-based technology in Indonesia.
