What is AI Literacy?
The ability to understand, critically evaluate, and effectively use AI tools in professional and everyday contexts. AI literacy encompasses knowing how AI systems work at a conceptual level, understanding their limitations, and applying them productively. It is increasingly listed as a required competency in job descriptions across all industries.
Example in practice
A hiring manager who understands that an AI resume screener may carry historical biases — and designs a review process to counteract them — is demonstrating AI literacy applied to a real professional decision.
