AI Literacy

The practical ability to use AI tools effectively, judge their output critically and understand their limits.

What AI Literacy is

AI literacy includes knowing what models are good and bad at, how to prompt clearly, when to verify, what data is safe to share, and how to disclose AI assistance appropriately.

How it works

It is built through structured practice on real tasks with feedback, not through tool demos: attempt a task, check the output against a source, and learn where the model reliably fails.

Why it matters

The productivity gap between skilled and unskilled AI users is now larger than the gap between models, and it is entirely trainable.
