The Pillars of Media and Information Literacy in Times of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

This article reflects on the pillars of media and information literacy (MIL) in the context of artificial intelligence (AI). As AI-based technologies are integrated into the contemporary media ecosystem, the need to develop skills that enable critical and effective interaction with these systems becomes increasingly urgent. Key skills such as access, analysis, creation, reflection, and action are highlighted, with a proposed update for each to address the challenges and opportunities that AI presents. The final reflection emphasizes the importance of adapting and expanding MIL competencies to strengthen civic engagement and critical thinking in an algorithm-mediated world.
