AI literacy is the ability to understand how AI systems work, what they can and cannot do, and how to use them effectively and critically in daily life or work. It has become an increasingly emphasized skill for employees, students, and general consumers as AI tools become embedded in everyday tasks, similar to how digital literacy became essential with the rise of computers.
