Abstract
This chapter focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and generative AI (Gen-AI) literacy frameworks. The first part of the chapter offers an overview of the AI literacy framework. This framework was developed by Ng and colleagues and has been used regularly as the theoretical foundation for AI literacy curriculum design. It includes four dimensions, namely, knowledge and understanding of AI, use and application of AI, evaluation and creation of AI, and AI ethics. In this part, the authors also explore the applications of the AI literacy framework in different education settings.
The second part of the chapter emphasises a new framework, Gen-AI literacy framework. This framework is developed upon the AI literacy framework and is designed by the authors of the book. This framework aims specifically at Gen-AI literacy and addresses the key topics that need to be included with regard to Gen-AI. Also in this part, the differences between the AI literacy and Gen-AI literacy frameworks are explored and recommendations on how to use the new framework in designing and developing Gen-AI literacy education are provided.
