Doug Belshaw responds to a my post on this article about AI literacy. It is useful both for its clarity of vision and comprehensive approach. Belshaw sees "literacy as inseparable from the social contexts in which it is practised" and draws on examples such as Wenger-Trayner's Community of Practice model to illustrate this. Communities have their own literacies, and "ethical considerations are not separate to literacies, but instead are part of what it means to be literate in these spaces."
