About this report

An education framework that defines AI literacy through knowledge, skills, attitudes and learner expectations. It explains why young people need guidance, how educators can support them and how the framework was developed and revised. The competency areas span engaging with AI, creating with it, managing it and shaping its role. Use it to structure curriculum conversations, design learning objectives and compare existing teaching activities with a broader conception of literacy that includes critical evaluation, ethical choices and active participation.
