About This Lesson
AI literacy is essential for making the most of the technology while being aware of risks and downsides. The Trust Insights AI 4U Literacy Framework is a practical four-step framework to teach AI literacy.
The AI 4U framework is four parts:
- Understand: How well do you understand AI technology? Do you know what it is, what it’s capable of, what its limitations are? The first U assesses a person’s basic fundamentals of AI knowledge.
- Use: How do you use the technology? What are the use cases? When should you use it? When shouldn’t you use it. The second U assesses the functional, practical uses of AI and how fluent someone is.
- Uncover: What could go wrong? What are the ways AI can be misused? How could AI create misleading things? The third U assesses a person’s ability to critically think about AI, particularly its downsides, ethical challenges, and safety.
- Unleash: What does AI enable that previously was not possible? The fourth U assesses expansive thinking and a person’s ability to look forward, rather than apply the technology to yesterday’s way of doing things.
