- The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) AI Literacy Framework provides a set of skills and guidance for effectively using and evaluating generative AI technologies in the workplace.
- It introduces five foundational content areas: Understanding AI Principles, Exploring AI Uses, Directing AI Effectively, Evaluating AI Outputs, and Using AI Responsibly.
- The framework outlines seven delivery principles, including experiential learning, embedding learning in context, building complementary human skills, addressing prerequisites, creating pathways for continued learning, preparing enabling roles, and designing for agility.
- The framework encourages employers to provide hands-on training to ensure employees have baseline AI literacy skills for responsible and effective use of AI tools.
- It calls for ongoing feedback and adaptation of the framework to keep up with evolving technology and labor dynamics.
