DALI: Cornell Digital and AI Literacy Initiative

The Cornell Digital and AI Literacy Initiative (DALI) seeks to address peoples needs for digital tech and AI literacy in order to critically engage with these novel technologies. The Initiative focuses especially on the technology literacy challenges facing youth and vulnerable communities. It brings together a community of researchers and practitioners who develop, expand, and scale research and public engagement opportunities to collectively pursue this goal. We design, evaluate, and disseminate innovative, community-driven, and evidence-based solutions that promote the publics critical and informed engagement with technologies.

Co-Directors Dr. Natalie Bazarova and Dr. Qian Yang have announced the launch of a comprehensive AI Scope and Sequence in collaboration with The School Library Systems Association of New York. Developed as part of the LibraryReady.AI project, with funding from the Allison-Rosen Foundation, this resource provides a dynamic framework for educators to guide PreK-12 students in understanding and engaging with artificial intelligence technologies.
