AI literacy: the skill nobody is teaching
Schools teach typing. Jobs teach software. But the skill that's about to matter most? Almost nobody is teaching it.
The lesson
AI literacy isn't knowing how the technology works. It's habits: how to give context, when to push back, how to check what comes back, when to walk away. Powerful tools reward good habits and punish lazy ones. The good news? Habits can be learned, and that's exactly what this series is for.
Try it — 60 seconds
Rate my AI habits. Ask me five quick questions about how I use AI day to day, then tell me my strongest habit — and the one I should fix first.
Copy it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — whichever you already use. Fill in the brackets with your real life.
Watch out
Confidence with AI isn't the same as skill with AI. The people in the most trouble are the ones who stopped questioning it.
