Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we live, learn, and communicate. From chatbots to smart filters, AI is everywhere — and our students are growing up in a world defined by it. The Why AI Literacy Matters in 2026 infographic workshop helps students explore what AI really is, how it works, and why responsible use matters in the classroom and beyond.
Understanding AI in Everyday Life
AI is no longer futuristic — it’s part of our daily routines. Students discover how AI influences the apps and platforms they already use, from music recommendations to photo enhancements. By identifying where AI appears in their lives, learners develop awareness of its benefits and limitations.
This session introduces foundational concepts such as:
What AI can and can’t do
How algorithms learn patterns
Where we encounter AI in creative tools
These simple, hands-on insights help demystify technology and build curiosity about how innovation shapes the modern world.
Learning to Use AI Responsibly
Understanding AI also means knowing its impact. Students engage in guided discussions about ethical AI use, covering real-life topics like bias, misinformation, and digital citizenship. Through practical examples, they learn to ask:
Is this information generated or verified?
How can AI amplify or reduce bias?
What does responsible creation mean in the age of automation?
This reflection helps students see AI as a tool to support creativity and learning — not to replace it.
Hands-On with Generative AI Tools
The session features simple, guided use of AI-powered design tools where students experiment with creating visuals or layouts responsibly. They learn to give clear prompts, refine outputs, and evaluate results critically.
By the end, participants walk away with both a visual creation and a new sense of AI literacy — understanding how to create, question, and use technology thoughtfully.
Why Schools Should Teach AI Literacy Now
AI literacy is fast becoming a core digital skill, much like typing or coding. Equipping students with this knowledge prepares them for higher education, careers, and a digital future where ethical awareness is just as important as technical skill.
The Why AI Literacy Matters in 2026 programme aligns with MOE’s goals for media and digital literacy, empowering teachers to integrate responsible AI use into everyday learning.
