Abstract

This study analysis the dimensions of artificial intelligence (AI) literacy in building future leadership for intelligent, ethical and sustainable communities. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 235 university students, as future leaders, involved in the management of interdisciplinary student organizations. The analysis focused on five dimensions of AI literacy identified by the Digital Education Council (DEC) as being linked to future leadership: understanding AI and data (D1), evaluating AI content (D2), ethical and responsible use of AI (D3), utilizing AI for collaboration, creativity, and adaptation (D4), and understanding AI trends and their impact on careers (D5) in the context of future leaders to build intelligent ethical and sustainable communities. An analysis of the data indicates that D1, D4 and D5 has achieved a high level of success in training for future generation leadership. On the other hand, D2 and D3 exhibit not much progress. Such findings can be of use to higher education institutions in educating leaders for sustainable community development. In addition, this article adds to the worldwide conversations on AI for sustainable education by calling attention to digital literacy as a basis for building adaptive and ethical leadership towards the realization of 11th SDGs. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
