Puzzled By ChatGPT? No more! A Jigsaw Puzzle to Promote AI Literacy and Awareness
This work addresses the need for accessible AI literacy tools for the general public, but the approach is incremental as it applies game-based learning to a known problem without quantitative evaluation.
The paper introduces a jigsaw puzzle designed to promote AI literacy by explaining the workings, capabilities, limitations, and societal implications of generative AI like ChatGPT through a comic-based infographic. The puzzle was developed collaboratively with experts and non-experts to provide an engaging, hands-on learning tool.
The rapid adoption of Generative AI, including LLM-based chatbots like ChatGPT, has highlighted the need for accessible ways to support public understanding and AI literacy. To address this need, we introduce a game-based, interactive approach in the form of a jigsaw puzzle whose completed image is a comic-based infographic illustrating the workings, capabilities, limitations, and societal implications of these technologies. Each comic sketch also functions as a standalone informational card, providing focused explanations of specific facets of AI use, design, and impact. The visual content was created in a live collaborative session with a professional illustrator and a multidisciplinary group of experts and non experts, combining structured knowledge with informal, exploratory reflections shared during the discussion. By integrating hands-on assembly, visual storytelling, and collaborative interaction, the puzzle provides an engaging and playful tool for exploring the mechanisms, perks, and perils of AI systems in informal learning contexts.
