AI fluency means more than dabbling with ChatGPT. It’s about understanding how artificial intelligence works, choosing the right tools, and knowing when to trust the output.
Definition
Think of AI fluency as digital literacy for the age of automation. It’s not about coding; it’s about being able to ask the right questions, spot opportunities and integrate AI into your workflow.
Why it matters now
Teams that embrace AI fluency move faster, collaborate more effectively and innovate more easily (Why Hands-On Learning Is Key to Building an AI-Fluent …). Employers increasingly expect candidates to demonstrate AI literacy, especially as skills‑based hiring rises in the UK.
Occasional vs strategic use
Using AI occasionally to draft a CV is helpful, but true fluency means using AI strategically: stacking prompts, combining tools and understanding the ethics behind them. This strategic approach can save you time and highlight your judgement and creativity.
