Want to adopt AI in your workplace? Start by building a foundation first
Briefly

Microsoft is integrating AI fluency into employee evaluations, signaling a move toward measuring AI skills alongside traditional workplace abilities. AI is becoming essential in white-collar jobs, yet standards for its effective use remain undefined and rapidly evolving. Many companies encourage AI adoption without adequate training, causing confusion and potential misuse among employees. Findings indicate that Gen Z professionals often operate these AI tools without clear guidance, leading to unethical practices. Companies risk dysfunction if they enforce AI policies without establishing proper support structures.
Microsoft announced it would start evaluating employees on their usage of AI tools like Copilot, indicating that AI fluency is now essential for job performance.
AI skills are now as critical as traditional workplace tools like email and spreadsheets, yet the technology is evolving faster than companies can manage.
Many employers push AI usage without providing necessary training, leading to misuse and confusion among employees who are uncertain about acceptable practices.
The lack of standards for AI use in the workplace can result in misalignment and dysfunction, especially if companies implement policies without proper guardrails.
