There has been increasing interest in artificial intelligence (AI) in various fields. This phenomenon calls for human resources to be equipped with the knowledge and skills of AI and data. The Korean Ministry of Education has opened up introductory courses in AI to high school students since the second half of 2021. It will also include AI education in the 2022 revised curriculum for elementary, middle, and high school students. Despite these efforts to enhance students’ digital literacy through the innovation of the national curriculum, opportunities for taking advantage of AI and data education should be reached for more diverse learners. At the same time, the courses need to be designed with not only theoretical but practical contents and activities based on learner needs. Under these circumstances, the Science Data Education Center at the Korean Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) has been providing AI and data education programs either online or face-to-face for university members, such as undergraduates, graduates, researchers, and professors. In this study, we aim to present cases of educational programs on AI and data operated by the Science Data Education Center, especially regarding those for the university components. Pertinent implications derived from the results of operating the programs will be discussed.
