The AI Literacy Toolkit

The AI Literacy Toolkit is a card-based AI literacy toolkit to encourage multidisciplinary collaboration between AI practitioners and non-technical audiences. The card set covers 4 key aspects of AI. Each card has two faces to provide information and encourage divergent thinking.

The use of the toolkit led to a statistically significant increase in critical feedback and breadth of AI-related questions from study participants. The use of the toolkit in an AI co-design workshop led to the development of a shared vision and common ground between AI-practitioners and non-technical participants. The toolkit fostered meaningful participation of non-technical audiences in co-designing AI systems with practitioners.

The toolkit was originally created in English, but has also been adapted to Chinese and Japanese. The three versions are publicly available, and the research behind the toolkit can be found at:
