Understanding True AI Literacy: Beyond Basic Awareness in Schools

In this episode, Dr. Joe Phillips addresses the common misconception in schools and districts between AI literacy and AI awareness.

True AI literacy encompasses understanding, questioning, and responsibly using AI, including ethical applications, recognizing biases, and cybersecurity threats. Dr. Phillips emphasizes the importance of comprehensive AI education for teachers, students, and staff to ensure responsible and safe use of AI technology in educational settings.
