The modernization of science and technology(S&T)governance heavily relies on the scientific literacy of leading cadres and civil servants. Based on data from the 14th National Civic Scientific Literacy Sampling Survey,this study focuses on leading cadres and civil servants,revealing their characteristics in scientific literacy levels,structural disparities,and AI-related cognition. The findings indicate that while this group maintains a leading position in overall scientific literacy,demonstrating a notable“leading goose effect”,significant structural imbalances persist across gender,urban-rural,region,age,and educational attainment. S&T training plays a positive role in improving their scientific literacy and enhancing AI-related awareness and attitudes,yet its overall effectiveness in fostering scientific literacy remains limited. Moreover,while scientific literacy strengthens their cognitive judgment on frontier technologies such as AI,the translation of such literacy into practical competence remains insufficient. Accordingly,this study proposes reinforcing the“leading goose effect”to leverage the exemplary role of the“critical minority”;implementing targeted policies to narrow intra-group disparities in scientific literacy;and deepening the S&T training system by establishing a“learning-application-evaluation”closed loop to promote the transformation of scientific literacy into practical capabilities.
