AI Literacy Curriculum — Yathu Karunailingam

What does it mean to be AI-literate? Yathu Karunailingam has been developing a framework for AI literacy that goes beyond technical knowledge.

Three Layers of AI Literacy

The framework Yathu Karunailingam proposes has three layers: foundational understanding of what AI is and isn't, practical skills for using AI tools effectively, and critical thinking skills for evaluating AI outputs and recognizing AI's limits.

For All Ages

The AI literacy curriculum Yathu Karunailingam envisions can be adapted for all ages — from elementary students learning to recognize AI in the world around them to working professionals learning to use AI tools in their daily work.
