Hack Beyond the Code: Building a Toolbox of Human-Centred Strategies for AI Literacy

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Literacy is quickly becoming an essential 21st-century skill. Be it discerning AI art and pictures from human-made ones, challenging answers from chatbots, or addressing ethical consequences of AI – with AI being ever more present in daily life, it is crucial for everyone to be aware of its utility but also potential pitfalls and challenges. This workshop aims to facilitate a hackathon in which AIED conference participants and local stakeholders will come together, exchange ideas and experiences, and collaborate with the aim of building a toolbox to promote AI Literacy. Our goal for this toolbox is to contain a spread of tools – in the form of lesson plans, apps, activities, and others – to support educators in teaching AI Literacy and students in learning or practicing AI Literacy.
