AI Orchestration Literacy as Civic Infrastructure: Safeguarding Human Agency in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Description
This paper introduces orchestration literacy as a foundational civic framework for human-in-the-loop alignment in the age of generative AI. It reframes AI literacy as civic infrastructure and proposes orchestration as a constraint-guided, role-aware practice of engaging with generative systems.
Key contributions include the concept of Simulation Shock, the Minimum Viable Orchestration framework, and community design patterns.
The goal is to safeguard human agency and authorship as generative systems increasingly mediate communication, education, and decision-making.
