  • Every day, 402.74 trillion bytes of data are added to the internet, presenting a daunting challenge to K-12 students. The new information provides vast new troves of knowledge, but it's also a breeding ground of disinformation,

The article from Yahoo News discusses the growing importance of data and AI literacy in today's digital age. It highlights how understanding data and AI is becoming crucial not just for tech professionals but for everyone, as these technologies increasingly influence various aspects of daily life, from personalized marketing to decision-making in businesses and governance. The piece explains that data literacy involves the ability to read, understand, analyze, work with, and make decisions based on data, while AI literacy extends to understanding how AI systems work, their capabilities, and their limitations.
