The Artificial Intelligence Literacy Framework (AILit Framework) is a joint initiative of the European Commission and the OECD, created to empower primary and secondary school students for life and work in the age of artificial intelligence.
Key literacy domains
The framework defines four developmental domains:
- Interacting with AI: Recognising and critically examining the role of AI in everyday life.
- Creating with AI: Using AI tools as creative partners while preserving human autonomy.
- Managing AI: Consciously and effectively distributing tasks between humans and machines.
- Shaping AI: Improving and adapting technology according to human values.
Foundations of competence
All domains are developed through three key pillars:
- Knowledge: Understanding the nature, capabilities, limitations, and impact of AI on society and the environment.
- Skills: Developing critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and computational thinking.
- Attitudes: Fostering responsibility, curiosity, innovation, adaptability, and empathy.
Levels and classroom implementation
- Flexible levels: Competencies are divided into basic, intermediate, and advanced levels without strict age restrictions.
- Teaching scenarios: Practical examples (“In the classroom”) are provided for integration into various subjects.
- Shared responsibility: Success depends on the collaboration of teachers, parents, school leaders, and policymakers.
