This open source book - Towards AI literacy 101+ - creative and critical practices, perspectives and purposes contains a range of short stories on AI. Examples are provided as to the challenges and ways to define AI literacy and the many interpretations of AI literacy across various educational levels and disciplines. The range of articles show how diverse education actually is and that there is never a 'one size fits all' model. Education, by the grounding of its purpose, must be of relevance to learners and the communities it serves. Therefore, how each context needs to use and apply AI, provides how AI literacy could be introduced and integrated.
The 'generic' skill or competency to come to grips with AI would be critical thinking. Again, to be able to think critically in various contexts, is variable. The discipline or subject is but a platform from which the development and application of critical thinking is grounded. Care there needs to be taken when designing learning, to ensure that there is a balance between discipline/subject-based 'situated learning' and to ensure that learners are provided with models and skills to 'cross the boundary' when they make shifts across disciplinary fields.
