Proceedings of the 23rd Koli Calling International Conference on Computing Education ResearchWhen it comes to education about AI in schools, there is little evidence on which data-related skills are fundamental and how to help students acquire them effectively. I propose considering data literacy as a fundamental component in AI education.
