AI literacy means knowing what AI is, how it works at a basic level, and how to use it wisely. It's about being able to tell what AI can and can't do, spotting when it makes mistakes, and using it responsibly for school, work, or everyday life. It also means understanding the social and ethical impacts AI can have on people and communities.
AI is showing up everywhere — from search engines and chatbots to apps you already use. Learning AI literacy helps you get the most out of these tools, avoid being misled, and build skills that will be valuable in class, your career, and beyond. Being literate in AI also makes you a more thoughtful and confident decision-maker in a world shaped by technology.
