The development of AI technology has brought about a big change in our lives. As AI's influence grows from life to society to the economy, the importance of education on AI and data is also growing. In particular, the OECD Education Research Report and various domestic information and curriculum studies address data literacy and present it as an essential competency. Looking at domestic and international studies, one can see that the definition of data literacy differs in its specific content and scope from researchers to researchers. Thus, the definition of major research related to data literacy was analyzed from various angles and derived from various angles. In key studies, Word2vec natural language processing methods, along with word frequency analysis used to define data literacy, are used to analyze semantic similarities and nominate them based on content elements of curriculum research to derive the definition of 'understanding and using data to process information'. Based on the definition of data literacy derived from this study, we hope that the contents will be revised and supplemented, and more research will be conducted to provide a good foundation for educational research that develops students' future capabilities.

This study tried to examine the necessity of AI literacy education to increase the effectiveness of artificial intelligence education ahead of the revision of the next revised curriculum. To this end, AI modeling classes were conducted for high school students and the necessity, content, and training period of AI literacy perceived by students in AI education were investigated through a questionnaire. The results showed that they generally agreed on the need for data utilization and data preprocessing in the AI class, and in the course of the AI class, there were many cases of difficulties due to lack of basic competencies for database use. In particular, it was observed that the understanding of the file structure for data analysis was insufficient and the understanding of the data storage format for data analysis was low. In order to overcome this part, the necessity of prior education for data processing was recognized, and there were many opinions that it is generally appropriate to go to high school at that time. As for the content elements of AI literacy, it was found that there were high demands on the content of data visualization along with data transformation, including data creation and deletion.
