AIML Research Seminar: Why AI Literacy Matters: Empowering Future Thinkers in the Age of Uncertainty

As AI technologies become increasingly embedded in everyday life, the need for AI literacy is more critical than ever – not only for technologists, but for students, educators, and society as a whole.

In this talk, Dr Jinan Zou explores key AI literacy frameworks developed both in Australia and internationally, and how they shape our understanding of what it means to be AI-literate. Dr Zou also discusses how these frameworks can guide the development of educational programs that help individuals move beyond passive use toward critical, creative, and responsible engagement with AI.

Finally, Dr Zou reflects on the importance of embracing uncertainty as a core mindset for learning and innovation in the AI era.
