Abstract
This position paper highlights the importance of fostering responsible AI literacy in secondary education, drawing on personal observations from contrasting technology-use environments in UK and US schools. The author critiques simplistic regulatory approaches, emphasizing that unchecked AI use can amplify misinformation, limit student creativity, and impair critical thinking. The paper advocates for comprehensive AI education through curriculum enhancements and targeted training. Such measures aim to help students un-derstand AI’s capabilities, limitations, and ethical implications, and to encourage informed, balanced engagement with the technology.
