New Literacy [NLI]

Term code: AUG-0198 · Discipline: Safety & Alignment (GS) · Period: 5 · Language: en

Description

A societal tendency for competence in using AI tools to consolidate into a broadly expected cultural skill, comparable to earlier shifts in expected literacy. Denotes a gradual rise in baseline expected AI competence, not a single interaction.

Operational definition

TREND. Tracked at population level via the prevalence of defined AI-use competencies (e.g. share able to perform a benchmark set of AI tasks) and the degree to which such competence is treated as expected (job postings, curricula). The construct is the upward movement of these indicators over time.

Measurement schema

Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Repeated population surveys of benchmarked AI-competence prevalence plus content analysis of expectation signals (job-ad / curriculum mentions) across years; trend could be reported as indexed change over time.
