Building AI Literacy together
AI Literacy becomes a societal power only when it lives in the heads of many. The 2026 Study was done by a small group of educators and AI executives. Today, we work with organizations and experts who share this conviction.

FAQ
Questions we hear often
What is the difference between AI Literacy and AI Fluency?
AI Fluency is the ability to operate AI tools. AI Literacy is understanding how AI works, what it can and cannot do, what it costs and where it fails. Fluency expires when the tool changes; literacy carries over. Organizations need both, and the Barometer measures both.
What does the EU AI Act require on AI Literacy?
Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires providers and deployers of AI systems to take measures to support the AI Literacy of their staff. Since the Digital Omnibus amendment of July 2026, the law no longer demands a specific level of AI Literacy from any individual, and national market surveillance authorities have supervised the provision since 2 August 2026. No certificate is required. Our programs help organizations meet the obligation with measures that build real understanding, not just attendance records. We certify your progress and participation in our AI Literacy trainings, and invite you into our global AI Literacy Network.
What the US Executive Order on "Super Intelligence" means for AI literacy?
On 29 September 2026, the US President signed an executive order directing federal agencies to use "Super Intelligence" (SI) instead of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) in official communications. This changes the vocabulary, not the technology. It applies only to the US federal executive branch. It does not apply to private companies, universities or Europe, where the EU AI Act still speaks of "AI" and makes AI literacy a legal obligation. The AI Literacy Barometer will therefore keep "AI" as its primary term, to protect comparability across countries and years. When collecting data in the US, we will use both AI and SI, because federal agencies are bound by the order and respondents now meet both terms at work. This also lets us study whether the new label shifts how people perceive the technology. Whatever the name, the essentials of AI literacy stay the same: understanding how these systems work, where they fail, and how to use them responsibly.
Do you work with small and midsized businesses?
Yes. SMEs are one of the four populations of the Global AI Literacy study and focus of our project work. We offer formats sized for smaller teams and budgets.
Can we use the Barometer data in our own research or publications?
