Blurb: “How can there still be talks about AI?” - you might think. And you’re kind of right: It seems like ChatGPT and co. have been around for decades, and thousands of workshops have already dealt with its uses in language teaching. But as we’re becoming more and more used to using it, we now have time to deal with something that’s even more important than how we can generate gap fills and grade student papers with it. And that is whether we should use it to grade student papers in the first place? Or what to do with students cyberbullying each other with deepfakes or believing information or sources to be true when, in fact, they are AI-generated? Being skilled users of AI actually starts at becoming AI literate, so in this interactive talk, we’re going to look at what AI literacy is, why it’s important, and what activities we can try to improve our students’ and our own AI literacy.
