A critical AI literacy encompasses the ability to understand, apply, and assess AI technologies, uses, and outputs, while critically examining the tools themselves and their cognitive, ethical, socio-political, economic, and environmental dimensions. This broad AI literacy is human-centered and emphasizes the kind of student agency that Brown students will need to pursue their intellectual and personal goals.
Guided by faculty colleagues and experts from the Sheridan Center and Brown University Library, teams will accomplish two interconnected goals:
- Create or revise a course to include specific AI literacy outcomes and align assignments and learning activities to support AI literacy in the context of discipline-specific knowledge
- Develop a practical plan to help their department launch conversations on the place of AI and AI literacy in their curriculum
