Wie wird aus AI Literacy und Fachexpertise eine handlungsorientierte KI-Kompetenz? Der Einfluss des Interaktionsmodus zwischen Mensch und GenKI

Abstract

The rapid integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is transforming workplace tasks and competency requirements faster than earlier technologies, with heterogeneous effects across occupations. In line with vocational-school curricula, acquiring comprehensive AI competencies is vital. While AI literacy primarily encompasses technical knowledge and skills, AI competency expands this notion to include application-oriented attitudes and self-reflective mindsets for professional contexts. This paper proposes a theory-based model linking modes of human–GenAI interaction and competence development. It draws on cognitive load theory, cognitive offloading, and Randazzo et al.’s empirical typology of cyborg, centaur, and self-automator interaction modes. The model shows how these modes offer distinct opportunities and risks for AI competency, subject-matter competence, and efficiency gains
