Amanda Bickerstaff defines “AI literacy” as foundational skills to use AI safely, ethically, and effectively. A key misconception is that “generative AI” outputs are perfect; they can have “hallucinations” (mistakes) and bias, needing human judgment. Don’t aim to be an AI expert; focus on building capacity. AI will create new jobs, change others, and raise ethical concerns about its environmental impact and intellectual property. While “generative AI” mimics creativity, a step towards “super intelligence,” over-relying on it can reduce human cognitive skills.
