Introduction
AI literacy is a tool to acquire the knowledge, skills, and understanding needed to make informed decisions regarding the deployment and use of AI systems. Our goals and aspirations in the age of AI are deeply intertwined with the way we engage with these technologies. The choices we make about AI systems can have implications in both the short and long term.
Introduction
Reflect on your AI-related goals and challenges:
-
What would you like AI to help you achieve?
-
What barriers are preventing you from using AI effectively?
-
How can you safely and effectively reach your goal using AI?
-
What resources or knowledge do you need to achieve that goal with AI?
To address these questions, consider using the PACED method:
-
P: Define Problems (e.g., what issues AI can address).
-
A: Identify Alternatives (e.g., different AI tools or approaches).
-
C: Establish Criteria (e.g., safety, reliability, ethics).
-
E: Evaluate the options (e.g., assess opportunities and risks).
-
D: Make a Decision (e.g., select and deploy the AI system).
Think about the benefits of rational decision-making when engaging with AI systems to ensure informed, ethical, and effective use.
