AI literacy for managers: what leaders need to know

Managers don't need to build models. They need to judge proposals, set expectations and spot weak claims.

Many AI projects fail through poor decisions made by capable people who lacked a few key concepts. A short, practical literacy programme closes that gap.

Topics that matter

  • What models are good and bad at, and why they sometimes sound confident when wrong.
  • How to ask for evidence: test sets, error rates, baselines.
  • Data quality and ownership.
  • Risk basics: privacy, security, bias and regulation.
  • How to define a measurable outcome.

Teach with your own use cases and data. Examples from the manager's own team stick.
