Subcommittee proposes renaming to 'AI education and digital literacy' and balanced academic-integrity approach
Summary
The education subcommittee recommended renaming itself to emphasize digital literacy, prioritizing age-appropriate guidance, academic-integrity safeguards, culturally responsive materials, and partnerships with the University of Guam and regional universities.
The AI education subcommittee recommended broadening its scope to "AI education and digital literacy," reflecting priorities beyond classroom AI use to include public awareness, misinformation, and cultural context.
Dr. Shanika Mitchell, speaking as proxy, said members agreed the new name better captures work on responsible AI use, online safety, misinformation, critical thinking, and culturally responsive guidance. The subcommittee emphasized that AI "should support not replace human reasoning" and urged age-appropriate guidance for students, tailored recommendations for K–12 and higher education, and balanced academic-integrity approaches that avoid relying solely on detection tools.
The group flagged possible partnerships with the University of Guam, Guam Small Business Development Center, and regional universities to develop resources. The subcommittee will continue drafting guiding principles and seek to produce deliverables for educators, parents and government partners.
