Abstract

The pervasiveness of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning in the everyday lives of young people-impacting how they connect with friends, listen to music, play games, or attend school-coupled with the accessibility of applications powered by large language models and discussions about algorithmic justice has called for developing AI literacy in K-12 education. In this symposium, we offer different perspectives on what learning and teaching about AI could mean. Panelists will (1) address questions about how deeply do we want students to engage with AI, (2) examine in which ways critical agency can be developed, and (3) discuss implications for research and designs how teachers and learners can develop and integrate conceptual and critical understandings about Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning that are increasingly important to participate in the world.
