Initiatives like Scotland's "Living with AI" course & programs in Finland & Canada show what's possible. The UK must learn from these examples, supporting trusted institutions like libraries & community groups to scale AI literacy. We can’t leave AI education to industry alone. #FutureofAI

We're calling for accessible, independent materials and opportunities for diverse communities—parents, older people, underserved groups—to engage critically with AI. This isn't just about adopting tools; it's about AI affecting all our lives & building public trust. #DigitalSkills #CommunityLearning

Why is this so vital? Currently, less than 25% of the population feels their views are represented in AI decisions. Critical AI literacy goes beyond tech skills; it's about understanding social & environmental impacts of AI & ensuring public voices shape its future. #PublicEngagement #ResponsibleAI
