What do university students know about Artificial Intelligence? Development and validation of an AI literacy test
Hornberger, M., Bewersdorff, A., & Nerdel, C. (2023). What do university students know about Artificial Intelligence? Development and validation of an AI literacy test. Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence, 5, 100165.
FOUND
The authors develop and validate an instrument measuring what university students actually know about AI — moving AI literacy from slogan to measurable construct.
MEANS
You can’t teach what you can’t measure; this gave programs a tested instrument instead of vibes.
SI DATA
Our Central Asia AI Education Audit 2026 measures what is taught (58% teach AI programs); Hornberger measures what is learned \u2014 the distance between those two numbers is the next great research gap in the field.
