A Common Effort to
Advance AI Literacy
Sparking a Dialogue About What AI Literacy Means
The AILit Framework for primary and secondary education is a joint initiative of the European Commission (EC) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Its development is supported by Code.org and leading international experts.
The initiative contributes to the innovative domain of the PISA 2029 assessment and supports the EU’s goals to promote quality and inclusive digital education and skills.
European Commission
The European Commission is the European Union (EU)’s main executive body. This AI literacy initiative contributes to the EU’s long-term goals to promote quality and inclusive digital education and skills, as well as the objectives of the Digital Education Action Plan 2021–2027. The project is being developed and implemented with financial support from the EU.
OECD
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organization that develops evidence-based standards and policy solutions to global challenges. This initiative directly contributes to OECD’s innovative domain of the upcoming PISA 2029 Media and AI Literacy assessment.
Code.org
Code.org® is a U.S.-based nonprofit working to expand access to computer science and AI education, with a focus on increasing participation among women and underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.
Code.org has supported the development of this framework. The TeachAI community provided valuable insights to inform this draft.
“Understanding artificial intelligence is not just about technology; it’s about understanding how we humans think differently when using such disruptive tools. And AI is nowadays an amazingly efficient mechanical tool, and we need to empower learners to critically assess the tools in order to best shape our thinking when using it.”
Expert Group
An international team of experts guides the framework’s development and supporting materials. Beyond contributing their extensive experience and insights, they also help uphold our core development principles, ensuring the AILit Framework remains foundational, practical, illustrative, durable, and globally relevant.
“Emerging literacies like AI cannot be defined by ten people in a conference room. It is only through a global conversation that reflects the diverse voices of students, teachers, researchers, and AI experts from around the world that we can come to a shared vision and understanding.”
