TeachAI defines AI literacy as “the knowledge, skills, and attitudes associated with how artificial intelligence works, including its principles, concepts, and applications, as well as how to use artificial intelligence, such as its limitations, implications, and ethical considerations” (Teach AI, 2023). Similarly, Digital Promise describes it as “the knowledge and skills that enable humans to critically understand, evaluate, and use AI systems and tools to safely and ethically participate in an increasingly digital world” (Digital Promise, n.d.).
In this document, AI literacy is defined as the ability to understand, evaluate, and responsibly engage with AI technologies. That involves understanding how AI operates, recognizing its limitations and biases, critically evaluating its outcomes, considering its ethical implications, and assessing its societal impact. Developing these competencies leads to responsible and effective use of AI. Additionally, increasing AI awareness among educators and learners equips them with the necessary skills to use AI in teaching, adapt to emerging technologies, and prepare for a future shaped by AI.
This document serves as a comprehensive reference for all educational sectors, outlining the necessary competencies for integrating AI tools and strategies into education.
