AI Literacy
The knowledge and skills needed to understand, use, evaluate, and critically assess AI systems — increasingly considered a fundamental competency for the modern workforce.
Only 26% of workers currently use AI tools daily despite 78% of organizations adopting AI. The EU AI Act explicitly requires AI literacy programs for employees interacting with high-risk AI systems. LinkedIn reports that AI-related skills are the fastest-growing category on the platform. The World Economic Forum projects that 50% of employees will need reskilling by 2025 due to AI. Universities are rapidly integrating AI literacy into curricula across disciplines, not just computer science. The gap between AI-literate and AI-illiterate workers is becoming a significant factor in earning potential and career advancement.
