Policy Roadmap on Research infrastructures for citizen science

excerpt from: What are the Policy Challenges for the Development of Research Infrastructures for Citizen Science in Europe?

[...] * Relevant gap: several initiatives to cover the ICT readiness and literacy gap have been organized till now to increase inclusivity of people that are low skills. However, to support CS development and scale up it is needed a specific effort in this direction to allow all segments of population to be part of the CS initiatives This is especially visible in large research infrastructures and frontier research as technical language and tools are often more demanding than in other cases.

Is AI literacy a required priority here? Increasing ICT literacy is very important, especially in terms of online citizen science. Furthermore, citizens need to understand how their contributions will be used, therefore they should learn a few things about machine learning.
