Authors found as many as 153 pieces of literature, and eleven were declared to meet the eligibility criteria for the literature reviewed in this study. This study shows that AI literacy is essential in higher education. Educators and higher education institutions are responsible for providing programs that support the development of AI literacy skills in students. The application of AI literacy for students in higher education is essential in dealing with the development of AI technology. However, the lack of studies that address the evaluation of the importance of AI literacy and its implications limits the in-depth understanding of this topic.
