AI Literacy Is a Mindset, Not a Toolset

Before schools talk about tools, policies, or routines, they need to understand AI literacy.

In this episode of Mr F’s AI Classroom, we explore the foundations of AI literacy and why it must come before any attempt to use AI in teaching and learning. Mr F breaks down the first three principles of AI literacy: understanding what generative AI actually is, recognising bias and ethical implications, and protecting pupil data through sound safeguarding and GDPR practice.

This episode sets the groundwork for responsible, confident AI use in schools.

You will hear:

• Why AI literacy is about judgement, not tools
• What generative AI is — and what it is not
• How bias and ethics show up in classroom use
• Why data protection is a professional responsibility

This is the starting point schools cannot afford to skip.
