Composing AI Ethics Video Public Service Announcements as AI Literacy Praxis

• In Event: Generative AI Tools to Support Literacy

Abstract

“AI literacy” is often used to describe competencies related to using and understanding AI. However, conceptions of this term often neglect deep engagement with literacies scholarship and praxis. Here we share how multimodal composing opportunities (creating video public service announcements) allowed high school students to critically explore the impact of AI on their lives. We share findings from our multimodal content analyses and conclude with ideas for incorporating multimodal composition into broader AI literacy praxis.
