In this conversation, Wilson Rojas, Assistant Director for Emerging and Innovative Technologies at the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, explains why AI literacy goes beyond knowing how to use the tool.

He explains that it also requires understanding how AI systems generate responses, recognizing their limitations, evaluating their outputs, and making ethical decisions about when and how to use them.

The conversation also explores cognitive offloading and the importance of keeping a human in the loop. Finally, he speaks about how educators can design learning environments that encourage critical thinking rather than passive dependence on AI.
