AI literacy
AI literacy is the ability of the people operating an AI system to explain what it does, where its data came from, how it fails, and who made the decision. Under the EU AI Act it is a requirement for organisations deploying AI, not a nice-to-have. It is measured by what a team can demonstrate, not by certificates collected.
What your team must actually be able to doElsewhere: AI Literacy for Recruiters, entry-level training and a certificate
