FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

7 questions

  • AI tools are now embedded across most industries, and the ability to use them well, and to know their limits, is becoming a baseline workplace skill rather than a specialist one. Job postings increasingly list AI familiarity even for non-technical roles. The practical edge is less about any single tool and more about judgement: knowing when AI speeds you up and when it quietly introduces errors.

  • No. AI literacy isn't about coding, it's about understanding AI capabilities, using AI tools effectively, evaluating AI outputs critically, and knowing when AI is appropriate vs. when human judgment is needed.

  • The test covers: AI fundamentals (how models work), prompt engineering, AI tool selection and usage, critical evaluation of AI outputs, AI ethics and bias awareness, and practical AI workflow integration.

  • Your results include a personalized learning roadmap. Common recommendations include hands-on practice with AI tools, understanding prompting techniques, learning about AI limitations, and staying current with AI developments through reputable sources.

  • No. This is a self-assessment built for reflection and a learning roadmap, not an accredited credential you can put on a CV as a qualification. Think of it as a way to map what you already know and where your gaps are, then pursue formal training if a role requires certified proof.

  • Only partly — AI tools and norms move quickly, so literacy is a moving target rather than a one-time achievement. The fundamentals (how models work, evaluating outputs, knowing the limits) age slowly, but the specifics shift. Retaking it every few months is a fair way to keep your roadmap current.

  • No, and that's the common misconception. Prompting is one slice; the larger part is judgement — critically evaluating AI output for errors and bias, understanding data and privacy implications, and recognising the situations where a human should decide instead of the model. Knowing when not to use AI is as much a literacy skill as knowing how to use it.
