This act proposes a worldwide campaign to improve AI literacy, ensuring that all individuals—regardless of age, geography, or background—understand artificial intelligence, its applications, risks, and ethical implications, thereby promoting digital inclusion and responsible technological citizenship.
Description:
Universal AI Education Curriculum:
Develop open-access AI education materials tailored for primary, secondary, and adult learners. The curriculum would be co-developed with global education institutions and adapted culturally and linguistically for regional relevance.
AI Literacy Integration in National School Systems:
Encourage governments to integrate foundational AI education into national curricula by 2030, covering topics such as machine learning, automation, data ethics, and algorithmic bias.
Community Learning and Public Awareness Campaigns:
Launch multilingual global campaigns using TV, social media, and local workshops to demystify AI concepts and counter misinformation. Focus on everyday impacts of AI in healthcare, education, work, and government.
Teacher Training and Certification:
Provide training and certification for educators to confidently teach AI concepts. Include pedagogical resources, online courses, and community support forums.
Digital Equity and Access Programs:
Ensure access to AI learning materials and tools by distributing devices and providing internet access subsidies in underserved areas. Collaborate with tech companies and NGOs to deploy offline learning kits in remote regions.
Ethics and Responsible Use Framework:
Promote discussions on AI ethics in education, including surveillance, bias, and transparency. Encourage youth to explore the societal implications of AI through projects and debates.
Global Youth AI Innovation Challenges:
Organize annual international competitions to engage young people in designing ethical and inclusive AI solutions for their communities, supported by mentorship from industry and academia.
Monitoring and Accountability:
Establish a UN-affiliated AI Literacy Council to track progress, promote global knowledge sharing, and ensure inclusive and equitable implementation.
