This reflec6ve essay outlines a posi6ve-construc6ve pedagogy as an approach to enhancing AI literacies of different types, with a focus on the individual's personal rela6onship to AI technologies. It is argued that personal rela6onships to emerging technologies are crucial for a successful implementa6on of AI in society, as understanding of AI needs a personal contact with the technology and tacit knowledge about it to develop. AI thus poses a societal learning challenge, which can be met by lending space for personal aFtudes, affects and reflec6ons of media users in the outset, suppor6ng them gradually towards a cri6cal and deepened rela6onship to the tools and soGware they are using.
