"AI literacy is a skill that citizens of the world need to possess. Recently, The World Economic Forum identified AI literacy as a measurement of a nation's success, going as far to state that differing levels in citizens' AI literacy will be how nations are measured against one another. MediaWise, the nonprofit Poynter Institute's digital media literacy initiative, and the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation are working to educate global citizens with AI literacy skills."
"MediaWise is excited to announce it is expanding its AI literacy resources with its new initiative: alt+Ignite: Fuel Curiosity, Elevate Your AI Literacy. As a global AI literacy leader empowering journalists, news consumers, older adults and young people, MediaWise is equipping citizens - training at least 3,000 people across 50 countries in 2025 - with AI literacy and ethics knowledge."
"This new initiative is designed to reach students, educators, civic leaders, journalists and library workers. Accessible through multiple formats, the learning materials include a combination of explainers, quizzes and assessments. Alt+Ignite can be accessed in four ways: a gamified online certificate course for those who want an AI literacy deep dive; a crash-course for those just getting familiar, a digital toolkit with lesson guides for anyone looking to train others on AI; and an infographic poster pack for those quick reference needs."
AI literacy is framed as an essential civic skill and a national success metric by the World Economic Forum, with differing citizen literacy levels set to influence country comparisons. MediaWise and the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation launched alt+Ignite: Fuel Curiosity, Elevate Your AI Literacy to expand AI literacy resources worldwide. The initiative targets students, educators, civic leaders, journalists, library workers, older adults and young people and aims to train at least 3,000 people across 50 countries in 2025. Learning materials include explainers, quizzes, assessments, a gamified certificate course, a crash course, a digital toolkit with lesson guides, and an infographic poster pack. The program emphasizes human-centered ethics when interacting with AI.
