UNESCO AI competency framework for students

The UNESCO’s AI competency framework for students has a vision that goes beyond basic AI literacy. Its goal is to empower students to become not only skilled and responsible users of AI, but also active contributors to the development of more inclusive and sustainable AI systems. The framework outlines the essential values, knowledge, and skills needed for students to effectively and critically understand AI, as well as to design and use AI systems in a responsible and innovative way. The framework also provides detailed guidance on AI topics, teaching methods, and assessment strategies to support student learning and development. By highlighting inclusivity, human agency, non-discrimination, and cultural sensitivity, this framework aims to equip students with the skills and values necessary for responsible citizenship in an AI-driven world.
