How to Build an AI Fluency Framework for Your Organization

What is AI fluency?

AI fluency is the ability to productively and responsibly use AI tools while implementing human judgment appropriately.

At Lattice, we believe AI fluency is not measured by a person’s frequency of AI usage or number of AI tools used. Instead, AI fluency requires understanding the limitations of AI, applying critical thinking to the inputs and outputs of different AI tools, and knowing how to leverage it to augment one’s own impact, productivity, and capability. 

Why You Need an AI Fluency Framework

A framework for any set of competencies helps HR teams define what’s expected and rewarded, and centralizes the information in a place where employees, managers, and company leaders have equal access to and understanding of the expectations.

AI skills are no different in needing infrastructure to guide and scale how related competencies are developed at an organization. An AI fluency framework:

• Sets expectations for how AI should be used by employees. 
• Defines how AI fluency connects to employee development and performance. 
• Solidifies specific skills that every employee should either have or be working toward. 
• Clarifies how those skills are meant to grow or change as employees move up the ladder.
