Abstract

This article presents a pedagogical framework for integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) education into the school curricula in Uruguay. Its aim is the development of students' AI literacy, focusing on critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. Emphasizing computational thinking, it prepares students for the digital era and addresses the ethical and social implications of AI. The framework poses three key questions: What is AI? How does it work? What can it do? From these questions, five dimensions are established to cover the fundamentals of AI: the main definition of AI, the representation of knowledge, machine learning, the computational approach and the ethical use and social impact involved. Additionally, the framework outlines key principles and a list of competencies to guide educators and educational leaders in creating an informed, responsible, and adaptive approach towards AI and its societal impact. This comprehensive guide is instrumental for educators to effectively incorporate AI concepts and develop AI skills in students.
