People’s generative AI literacy presented in the BBC News articles
| Generative AI literacy | Competency and considerations | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Understanding generative AI | Technology | In fact, their understanding of AI is more advanced than most teachers - creating a knowledge gap (1) |
| Application | Gemini appeared to have set a “new standard”, highlighting its ability to learn from sources other than text, such as pictures, according to Chirag Dekate, from analysts Gartner (29) | |
| Impact | Prof Becky Allen, the app’s co-founder and chief analyst, said some teachers found it easier to use AI to cut down on work than others (34) | |
| Using generative AI | Proper use | Jonathan Wharmby, who teaches computer science at Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School in Liverpool, uses AI to help with planning and creating resources, such as multiple choice questions - but said there were issues (54) |
| Malicious use | It comes after the UK’s independent terror legislation reviewer was “recruited” by a chatbot in an experiment (21) | |
| Evaluating generative AI | Positive evaluation | However, some people in the industry have said AI can be a useful tool for creating music and the technology should be embraced (40) |
| Negative evaluation | In June, the EU’s tech chief Margrethe Vestager told the BBC that AI’s potential to amplify bias or discrimination was a more pressing concern than futuristic fears about an AI takeover (49) | |
| Combating generative AI harms | Avoiding potential harms | “If you zoom in on the images you can often see inconsistencies such as the number of fingers,” he says (9) |
| Dealing with harms | This year, Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor won a legal battle to protect his likeness, image, name and voice among other elements. Kapoor called the case verdict “very progressive” and good for other actors as well (24) |
