Sharing experiences of teaching critical AI literacy across campuses and contexts

In this, we the “fish” will describe the development of (critical) AI literacies in our different contexts, in our universities in Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Egypt and Switzerland. In this session, we will discuss:

1. How our contexts differ and what they have in common (e.g. the campus’s values and practices, the culture of the country, the students’ backgrounds),
2. What we mean by “critical AI literacy” versus “AI literacy”,
3. Some specific activities we have done in our classes to teach (critical) AI literacy,
4. Some specific assessments we have done to promote (critical) AI literacy,
5. The challenges of teaching critical AI literacy in our specific contexts,
6. The student experience, and
7. Some resources for critical literacies in the curriculum

We hope participants will enhance their awareness of critical literacies and how to apply them in the ways we teach students in their lives, and in the age of AI, whether or not AI is something we teach in our classes.
