What a great catch! The integration of AI literacy across all educational levels is crucial and I wish I would have thought of including that "all" option earlier!
Great post, thanks. I’d like to introduce myself and hopefully connect. I’m a professor in school of education at northwestern , and director of NSF funded lab TREE lab. (Tree.northwestern.edu) this year we are collaborating w local teachers to develop AI ethics resources, on topics such as surveillance, climate justice, and militarism. I’ll be writing on some of our work on my substack and would love to connect with your efforts! If there’s interest please reach out ! Gratefully, sepehr
Thank you so much for reaching out to us, Professor Vakil. That seems like a wonderful project, and I think it's so great that you are working directly with educators in the classroom to develop these resources. We would love to connect to learn more!
absolutely. lets connect. we are working with multiple national orgs on creating AI curriculum with a social justice focus. please email me at sepehr.vakil@northwestern.edu. would love to invite you and your team to visit our lab , in-person or virtually. I also posted an essay for educators in comments, where we take a close look at AI ethics and surveillance in the context of Chicago. heres the link https://sepehrvakil.substack.com/p/surveillance-safety-and-ai-in-chicago
Absolutely, teaching AI concepts can indeed pose challenges, especially for educators without a technical background. While there's substantial computation involved, emphasizing fundamental concepts first, as you highlighted, lays a solid foundation. Thank you for sharing these helpful resources!
I so wish that the poll had an "all" option. I think AI literacy needs to be woven in at all levels of education. :)

Yes and even all subjects, from history to art 🖼️
I interpreted the question as including the word "first" before "be incorporated" and agree with you. I should have picked elementary school.... :)
Very much agree. Throwing in my two cents: https://open.substack.com/pub/nickpotkalitsky/p/bridging-the-ai-literacy-gap?r=2l25hp&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Thank you for sharing! I especially liked the idea of the AI Literacy Triangle Framework!
