"When we focus on polarization as the problem, the solution is for everyone to quiet down and be 'civil'—an outcome that benefits those who are willing to grab as much power as they can without concern for legality or civility."🔥

![Abstract
This chapter argues the concept of critical Al literacy as a necessary corrective to prevailing industry-driven frameworks of Al literacy that emphasises tool use, efficiency, and job- readiness. While mainstream Al literacy often treats artificial intelligence as a set of neutral technologies to be mastered, critical Al literacy situates Al as a sociotechnical assemblage shaped by political, economic, environmental, and cultural forces. It highlights the need to interrogate the assumptions embedded in the very term "artificial intelligence", to resist technodeterminism [1] narratives, to situate AI within larger sociocultural discourses, and to prepare all stakeholders to recognise when refusal or resistance to Al is both valid and necessary. Drawing on media, data, digital, and civic literacy frameworks, the chapter outlines the core principles of critical Al literacy: understanding the limitations of AI systems, awareness of epistemic injustice, recognition of human agency, attention to power asymmetries in Al development, acknowledgement
of AI as a complex assemblage, and awareness of critical Al literacy as an active practice. The chapter further examines the need for critical Al literacy across educational institutions, industry, civil society, and policymaking. By re-centring human values and challenging technodeterminism, critical Al literacy enables communities to interrogate,
resist, and reshape the role of Al in society.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pexpsn7wwmadrpcb6hqpeskx/bafkreifvn2ui2jov3rbboxalecny3v5eid7epkj42ehoo7rwzb2vxr3h2i)

What specific gap or frustration led you to found Kairoi, and how has that shaped your mandate to advance responsible Al and research governance—grounded in critical Al literacy, rigorous research, and community-centered practices—so that Al systems serve people and planet rather than concentrate power and risk?
