READY Framework for AI Literacy

A simple framework for using AI with awareness, care, and responsibility.

READY helps learners build practical, responsible, and confident AI literacy skills. It gives people a clear way to think about how AI shows up in everyday life, how to use it well, and how to stay thoughtful about its impact.

R is for Recognize

Recognize AI in your daily life. Notice where AI is present, how it works in the background, and when it is shaping choices, content, or decisions.

E is for Evaluate

Evaluate AI with care. Question outputs, look for bias, consider ethics, and think about accuracy, fairness, and credibility.

A is for Apply

Apply AI responsibly. Use AI tools with purpose, care, and integrity. Write better prompts, check results, and use AI to support learning rather than replace thinking.

D is for Develop

Develop new skills and adapt. AI is changing quickly. Learners need ongoing practice, digital fluency, and the ability to grow with new tools.

Y is for You

You have personal responsibility. Commit to using AI ethically, thoughtfully, and in ways that respect others and your learning goals.

Why it matters

AI literacy is not only about knowing what AI can do. It is also about knowing how to question it, use it responsibly, and understand your role in that process.
