contents Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming global industries and societies, making AI literacy an indispensable skill for future generations. While AI integration in education is still emerging in Nepal, this study focuses on assessing the current AI literacy levels and identifying learning needs among students in Chitwan District of Nepal. By measuring students' understanding of AI and pinpointing areas for improvement, this research aims to provide actionable recommendations for educational stakeholders. Given the pivotal role of young learners in navigating a rapidly evolving technological landscape, fostering AI literacy is paramount. This study seeks to understand the current state of AI literacy in Chitwan District by analyzing students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards AI. The results will contribute to developing robust AI education programs for Nepalese schools. This paper offers a contemporary perspective on AI's role in Nepalese secondary education, emphasizing the latest AI tools and technologies. Moreover, the study illuminates the potential revolutionary impact of technological innovations on educational leadership and student outcomes. A survey was conducted to conceptualize the newly emerging concept of AI and cybersecurity among students of Chitwan district from different schools and colleges to find the literacy rate. The participants in the survey were students between grade 9 to 12. We conclude with discussions of the affordances and barriers to bringing AI and cybersecurity education to students from lower classes.
