As AI usage soars, the need for AI Literacy becomes crucial...
In November 2022, ChatGPT gained 1 million users within just 5 days of its launch, and now, 2 years later, it has 200 million weekly active users worldwide. This surge has heightened awareness of AI, with users engaging through personal applications and workplace tools, including Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI) solutions. The number of AI tool users is projected to exceed 700 million by 2030.
This widespread use raises important questions about AI literacy. AI is no longer a futuristic concept; it has permeated nearly every aspect of daily life.

The journey of "Literacy" : From Basics to AI Mastery
Over the past 20 years, while digital literacy has evolved with advancements in smartphones, laptops, and tablets, the fundamental concepts of internet usage have remained consistent.
In contrast, AI literacy is progressing at an exponential rate, with tools rapidly evolving from generating simple images to building complex virtual worlds and automating intricate business processes. This swift transformation necessitates that users continually learn and stay updated on the latest AI advancements to remain effective and competitive.
A framework to embed AI literacy within your organisation
Do you know only about 15% of the workforce will directly design or programme AI systems, while 85% will use AI in their daily tasks? The majority of employees don’t need to code but must be skilled in operating AI tools, understanding insights, and critically assessing outputs.
CFTE creates a framework to embed AI literacy within your organisation, focusing on a deep understanding of AI and its outputs. Here are five practical ways to implement AI literacy.
Is Your Organisation Ready for the EU AI Act?
In 2024, the EU AI Act came into effect, emphasising the urgent need for AI literacy across all levels of organisations. By February 2025, all organisations utilising AI must ensure their employees have the appropriate understanding of AI, including their applications, benefits, and associated risks. This requirement extends to all stakeholders, from AI providers to end users.
