About Flare AI
Designed to help secondary school librarians incorporate AI literacy into their library programs with materials that are practical to use, open-access, and built for long-term relevance. The goal is to support students as they learn to make sense of AI systems, evaluate outputs and limitations, and engage with AI technologies thoughtfully and responsibly.
Project Initiative
The School of Information Science at the University of South Carolina (USC) is leading a national initiative to strengthen artificial intelligence literacy (AIL) education through school libraries. Over three years, the project will create an open-access curriculum and ready-to-implement materials that help secondary school librarians integrate AIL sustainably into their programs. “We place students at the center as sense-makers of these systems—learning how AI works, questioning it, and using it thoughtfully,” the project team emphasizes. By equipping librarians with practical resources, the initiative aims to help students understand, critically evaluate, and responsibly interact with AI in an increasingly AI-driven world.
