AI Literacy in Higher Education: Theory and Design

The study focused on defining AI literacy in the context of university education. New forms of education and content are required in a rapidly changing technological environment. Students may feel uneasy about the changes that the university and their everyday world bring. This study analyses the results of a workshop in which students (18) with deep education in AI were asked to work on a framework for AI literacy using the Delphi method. The students defined ten areas essential to AI literacy: general overview and theory; ethics and social impacts; learning and trend tracking; technological skills; practical experience; critical thinking and information literacy; authorship and plagiarism; privacy and security; and experience with tools.
