It seems to me that if someone can read and think critically-- they can RTFM and get much better much quicker at computers and AI than people who spent all their time tapping an ipad to watch the next video.
I'd think really the only AI skill you need is the ability to think independently and be able to verify the results you are getting or spot when something is wrong in the response.
It would take a few sessions at most to take someone from 10 years ago and get them fully up to speed with AI tools since they have zero learning curve.
I think exercises when student is given pre-generated AI output and told to identify as many issues or mistakes as possible might be sensible. Not sure how long creating such exercise would take and what should be the tools or sources to verify the output but that might be helpful excersise.
We had something like this when I was in school but it was reading a news article, or the same story covered by different people and identifying the bias or missing information.
Evaluating AI output it’s not a skill on its own. It’s just general critical thinking and literacy.
You also need to understand the limits of AI and that it has limits that a human that gives you usually correct and authoritative answers does not have.
I think it comes easily to the sort of people who comment here. Moat people have a very vague understanding of computers in general.
