In response to calls to foster public AI literacy driven by the growing impact of AI on society, this poster will establish AI literacy as a key digital literacy, summarize the current state of AI literacy research, articulate compelling AI literacy initiatives, and chart future research. Cross-cutting themes include inclusive AI literacy, the importance of ethics, and connections to data literacy.
