AI Literacy in Education

AI Literacy is the ability to understand, use, and critically reflect on Generative AI technologies.

Common across many definitions of AI Literacy include the ability to:

• Understand what AI technologies are and how they work
• Use AI technologies effectively to achieve your goals
• Critically evaluate Generative AI outputs
• Develop practices that acknowledge broader ethical issues of AI

(Ng et. al., 2021; Miao and Cukurova, 2024, Becker et. al., 2024)

Other important components of AI literacy for education include:

• Developing a practice that aligns with our individual and collective values
• Recognizing and managing our emotional response to AI-technologies
• Understanding how AI technologies and AI practices are interconnected with other factors within larger educational and social structures

The AI Literacy Framework used in this resource acknowledges all of these domains as important, but also not mutually exclusive.
