AI literacy: articulated proposal of dimensions and indicators
Downloads
Abstract
This article proposes an articulated framework of dimensions and indicators for artificial intelligence literacy (AI literacy), understood as a key competency for citizenship in the digital age. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into areas such as education, media, the workplace, and everyday life, there is a growing need to develop competencies that enable individuals not only to use these technologies efficiently, but also to understand them critically, evaluating their social, ethical, and cultural impacts. Based on the media literacy model developed by Ferrés and Piscitelli (2012), this study adapts and expands that approach to the AI context, identifying six fundamental dimensions: cognitive and critical, language and programming, ethics, emotional, creativity and innovation, and interaction and participation.
These dimensions are broken down into specific indicators that allow AI literacy to be measured and applied in various educational and social contexts, providing practical tools for critical analysis and responsible use of AI. The article also addresses key challenges, such as algorithmic biases, particularly those related to gender, emphasizing the importance of tackling these inequalities from a critical and ethical perspective.
The article highlights the need to integrate AI literacy into media and information literacy (MIL), expanding the concept to address the algorithmic technologies that today shape access to and production of information. The proposed framework is flexible and constantly evolving, capable of adapting to rapid technological changes, and aims to empower citizens to engage critically, responsibly, and ethically with AI, promoting a more just and inclusive society in the face of the challenges and opportunities posed by this technology.
