AI Literacy in Teaching and Learning (ALTL) involves understanding the fundamentals of how AI works; critically evaluating the application of AI tools in teaching, scholarship, and the management of educational priorities; and maintaining vigilance in evaluating tools and techniques to protect against bias, misuse, and misapplication of these powerful models. ALTL also demands a commitment to ethical usage, ensuring that AI tools are applied transparently and responsibly, with an awareness of their societal impacts.
