This research aimed to 1) develop a training curriculum to enhance digital literacy and artificial intelligence skills titled “AI Awareness: Safe and Creative Use of Technology”; 2) study the achievement outcomes of using the training curriculum; and 3) study students’ satisfaction with the training curriculum. The target group consisted of 87 first- and second-year undergraduate students at Chiang Mai College of Dramatic Arts in the first semester of the 2025 academic year. The training duration was 8 hours, and the study used a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research instruments included 1) the training curriculum to enhance digital literacy and artificial intelligence skills titled “AI Awareness: Safe and Creative Use of Technology,” 2) a pretest and posttest achievement test, and (3) a student satisfaction questionnaire on the training curriculum. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean (M), and standard deviation (SD).

The results showed that 1) the training curriculum to enhance digital literacy and artificial intelligence skills titled “AI Awareness: Safe and Creative Use of Technology” was rated at the highest level of appropriateness (M = 4.71, SD = 0.21).
