2 The Frameworks

The following AI literacy frameworks informed the group’s conceptualization of AI literacy within the context of information literacy.  The majority of our student learning outcomes were sourced from these guiding documents, which we encourage others to read as well.  Each framework below includes concepts, questions, and taxonomies that may prove useful to librarians and faculty engaged in this work.
