Abstract

This chapter introduces The Dimensions of AI Literacies taxonomy (Gunder et al., 2024), a socioculturally grounded model for guiding ethical, accessible, and adaptable engagement with artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Building on literacy studies (Gee, 1999; Street, 1984), digital literacies (Belshaw, 2012), and open remix culture (Gunder, 2021), the authors frame AI literacies as plural, evolving combinations of skillsets and mindsets that differ across context, role, and community. Eight interwoven dimensions—cultural, cognitive, constructive, communicative, confident, creative, critical, and civic—are outlined to show how they emerge in practice and form “constellations of AI literacies” that strengthen institutional and community capacity. Using a culinary metaphor and a values-driven lens, the chapter reframes AI integration as a cultural and pedagogical opportunity, inviting educators, designers, and leaders to co-create AI-enabled ecosystems that are relational, reflective, resilient, and responsive to change.
