Abstract: With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology,human society is experiencing the transformation from the information age to the intelligence era,and university students,as the frontier group exposed to the new technology of artificial intelligence,are facing a series of new security challenges. From the perspective of philosophy of technology,information security and pedagogy,this paper reveals the influence of the rapid development of artificial intelligence on university students’ group security cognition. The core elements of university students’ artificial intelligence security literacy are analyzed,including “the double cornerstone of technological cognition and ethical judgment”,“the dynamic balance of data sovereignty and risk defense”,and “the integration of legal compliance and global vision”. Starting from the structural misunderstanding of “emphasizing technical understanding rather than ethical practice” in the cultivation of artificial intelligence in colleges and universities,the four-stage cultivation path of “cognitive shaping-ability cultivation-ethical internalization-guarantee construction” is put forward to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for colleges and universities to improve the cultivation of artificial intelligence safety literacy.

Key words: artificial intelligence safety literacy, safety education for university students, exploration of educational pathways, ethical security
