AI literacy is an important skill for students because it helps them use artificial intelligence tools thoughtfully, ethically, and effectively. By understanding how AI can support learning—like brainstorming ideas, getting feedback, or tutoring—students can make the most of these tools while still building their own knowledge and skills. Knowing what AI should not be used for, such as completing assignments or bypassing learning goals, helps protect academic integrity and personal growth. AI literacy also includes critical thinking, responsible data use, and understanding that not everything AI says is accurate—making students more informed and empowered digital citizens.
