Conceptual Framework for Artificial Intelligence literacy
Keywords:
Literacy, Artificial Intelligence, Digital TechnologyAbstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is one of the key factors driving changes in the education system in the digital age, which serves as a crucial foundation for developing skills that meet the demands of modern society. Promoting AI Literacy is essential to equip students with the ability to understand and utilize AI technology effectively, ethically, and appropriately. This article presents a conceptual framework for AI Literacy, comprising five main dimensions: understanding and learning about AI, applying and utilizing AI, evaluating AI, creating with AI, and considering AI ethics. This framework is designed to guide the development of educational content and learning activities that support students in being prepared to use AI critically. Furthermore, applying this framework contributes to fostering essential 21st-century skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving, while also enhancing the quality of education and preparing students for the workforce in an era where AI technology plays an increasingly significant role globally.
