Developing Critical AI Literacies: Towards more equitable futures

A workshop for people in charities, education, research, policy, public sector and community roles to explore the theory and practices of developing critical AI literacy (CAIL). We start with: The reasons for the emergence of Critical AI literacy and how it is defined Why it is a necessary intervention prior to, or alongside skills and technical education on AI How it can enable more participatory, community focused input into if, when and how AI is used Then we will explore principles, delivery methods and creative practice. This includes breakout sessions on: Empowering children and young people or lifelong learning Conducting participatory research and codesign that can better reflect participants’ values and imagination for more community-centred visions of AI. Finally, get a sneak peek demo of a new resource library for those delivering critical AI literacy interventions for different audiences, developed by We and AI with support from Our AI Collective CIC and Tecer Digital. Facilitated by Tania Duarte, Bruna Martins, Aphie Gover, Cinzia Pusceddu, and Mhairi Quiroz-Aitken. Part of the programme “A Day of Countering AI Inevitability: Reimagining and Reclaiming AI” at King’s College London on 8th July.
