The narratives of AI are being constructed around our collective futures. It becomes imperative that individuals and communities, especially young people reflect upon the futures being presented. There is a need to question these, and explore alternatives. This action research demonstrates how critical AI futures literacy can empower young people to move from feeling anxious about technological futures, toward having agency in shaping them. It provides a ‘Critical AI Futures Pedagogical Framework’, that aids young people to reimagine AI in alternate social-technical contexts, scrutinise AI implementations, and articulate diverse AI perspectives.
