AI Library: Context

Context

As seemingly everything becomes more digitized, having the tools and wherewithal to navigate a digital-first world has never been more important.
Through the lens of education, we like to think of digital literacy as a student’s ability to use digital tools and technologies to work, learn and interact. Digital literacy manifests as both cognitive and technical skills.
Digital literacy is a person’s knowledge, skills, and abilities for using digital tools ethically, effectively, and within a variety of contexts in order to access, interpret, and evaluate information, as well as to create, construct new knowledge, and communicate with others. UNESCO’s digital literacy skills framework from 2021 states that “digital literacy and access are a basic right in the twenty-first century; without them it is increasingly difficult to participate civically and economically.”

The intention of this guide is to define digital literacy and highlight the associated knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to participate in digital society.  It must be considered that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is delivered by the human mind using an algorithm that imitate us, so it must be continually refined so that it does not degenerate. Therefore, this guide can be used as an introduction to this kind of Generative Al.
