Tinkering With/Tripping It Up: Youth Shift, Interrupt, and Challenge Conceptualizations Around Their AI Use.

Sun, April 27, 11:40am to 1:10pm MDT (11:40am to 1:10pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 708

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium inquires into the ways young people, as knowledgeable and agentive philosophers of technology, counter prevailing dominant discourses about their literacy practices with Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies that situate them as uncritical users (of AI). Convening scholars and educators from literacy studies and learning sciences whose work cuts across theories, methods, and research contexts, this panel will share projects that interrogate how young people are navigating the ethical and critical complexities of AI. The panelists, through five different research projects, illuminate the AI literacies that emerge from the critical, playful, and mutually-constitutive relationships between youth writers and AI, and its implications for equity-oriented, transdisciplinary, and humanizing research, policy, and practice.
