Algorithm literacy in the era of digital intelligence : constituent elements, hierarchical framework and development model

Abstract: Purpose/Significance The change of technology environment in the era of digital intelligence puts forward new requirements for users ’ personal literacy ability. Improving algorithm literacy helps users adapt to the development of algorithm society. Method/Process This paper systematically sorts out the development context of algorithmic literacy, analyzes the conceptual connotation of algorithmic literacy, summarizes the main characteristics of algorithmic literacy, refines the constituent elements of algorithmic literacy, takes algorithmic ethics as the bottom line, and takes cognition, attitude and skill as the division standard to construct the hierarchical framework of algorithmic literacy, and combines the hierarchical framework and time dimension to build the development model of algorithmic literacy. Result/Conclusion Algorithm literacy is composed of algorithm awareness, algorithm knowledge, algorithm attitude, algorithm ability and algorithm ethics. The five elements are integrated to form an algorithm literacy framework including cognitive attitude layer, knowledge reserve layer, technical ability layer and ethical and moral layer. Multi-agent collaboration builds a development model of algorithm literacy.
