(3 Jun 2024) Academic and technologies teams at Barnard College developed an AI literacy framework to provide a conceptual foundation for AI education and programming efforts in higher education institutional contexts.
The framework provides a structure for learning to use AI, including explanations of key AI concepts and questions to consider when using AI. The four-part pyramid structure was adapted from work done by researchers at the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. (The Hong Kong researchers’ work builds upon Bloom’s Taxonomy.) The framework is intended to meet people where they are and scaffold upon their current AI literacy level, whether they have little to no knowledge of AI or are prepared to build their own large language model (LLM). It breaks AI literacy into the following four levels:
- Understand AI
- Use and Apply AI
- Analyze and Evaluate AI
- Create AI
