AI awareness helps students understand what artificial intelligence can do, where it may fail and how to use it responsibly. Students do not need to become AI engineers to benefit from basic AI literacy.
An introductory programme can explain common AI applications, demonstrate how prompts influence outputs and discuss limitations such as inaccurate information, bias and outdated knowledge. Students should practise checking important claims against reliable sources rather than assuming an AI response is correct.
Responsible use also includes protecting personal information, respecting academic integrity and following institutional rules. Teachers can provide examples of acceptable and unacceptable uses and encourage students to explain how they used AI in their work.
