The current Ontario curriculum establishes a strong foundation for AI literacy and essential transferable skills through computational thinking. The Ministry of Education emphasizes seven durable human skills—including critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration—that are vital for success and cannot be replicated by AI. AI literacy, defined as the ethical knowledge and skills to critically use AI tools, must be infused across all grade levels and subjects. Educators must foster these competencies, ensuring dedicated AI literacy lessons precede student use of GenAI for responsible engagement.
