Abstract
AI literacy is in high demand across industries. Thus, being literate in or learning AI should no longer be viewed as a specialized field under engineering but an ability that penetrates all disciplines (Johri, 2020). An analogy to extend this argument is by viewing traditional literacy. We would expect not only linguistics students to be competent in literacy, which is the proficiency to read and write, but also an appropriate level of literacy across any majors. Similarly, students at all levels and disciplines should develop AI literacy to stay competent in today’s world.
