Current evidence and decision questions

What often gets oversimplified
More training is not automatically better. A small team using one low-risk drafting tool may need concise task guidance and escalation rules, while a high-risk deployment needs deeper, role-specific competence.
Questions worth asking before acting
- What is workplace AI literacy?
- What should an AI literacy programme cover?
- Why does AI literacy matter now?
- What is the non-obvious risk?
