creative futures collaborative
Building the literacy students need to design their future.
Our AI literacy resources help educators guide meaningful conversations about creativity, informed AI use, and students’ ownership of their work.
We believe creative literacy* is the most important skill this decade for a human-centered future.
This includes agency over our technology, critical thinking about media we consume, and expanding how we define creative processes.
We asked students and educators:
When is it okay to use AI to have a
hand in the creative process?
Our media arts students and educators were the least likely of the cohorts to want to use AI to generate images.
“AI is generally good at a lot of things, but I don’t think it should be used.”
– Student, age 17
only
8.3%
of surveyed students felt that AI is good at making art.
“AI is taking away pure art.”
– Student, age 10
50%
of surveyed students indicated AI is good at answering questions.
”Many (students) are echoing their parents’ fears of AI. However, some have thoughtful arguments against it. I didn’t meet a single kid who was positive about it.“
– Educator
As a group, educators strongly agreed it was their responsibility to teach students when it was appropriate to use AI.
“I think in a vacuum, AI tools are interesting and helpful. But they do not exist in a vacuum, and the external factors are too great to ignore.”
– Educator
“I’m concerned about the environment.”
– Student, age 12
