Introduction: Why AI Literacy Matters for Our Mission
When we talk about AI literacy, the conversation too often begins and ends with technical skills—like writing prompts or understanding how to operate the latest tool. While these skills have value, they only scratch the surface.
For CCLAC’s ongoing pilot projects, AI literacy must be a critical and cultural practice—an approach that goes deeper than technical know-how, empowering participants to think critically, act ethically, and make discerning choices about how (and when) technology should be used.
This mindset directly supports CCLAC’s mission: building informed, engaged, and values-driven citizens who can shape the future of their communities.
