Teaching Visual Literacy in the AI Era

Visual literacy, or the ability to find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media, has never been more critical than the generative AI era. This interactive session will introduce how generative AI images are created, comparing the capabilities and limitations of popular tools such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. Through practical exercises, participants will consider best practices for text-to-image prompting and discuss the ethical considerations around AI-generated imagery.
