AI Literacy is the institutional capability of legal-function staff to understand, critically evaluate, and work effectively with AI systems — including their limitations, failure modes, governance requirements, and appropriate use contexts.
It is a prerequisite for responsible deployment at any Maturity Band and is operationalised through the AI Literacy Curriculum Architecture (TAL-01) at role-cluster level.
AI Literacy is distinct from delivery mechanisms and surface-level outcomes; it is a deeper, capability-focused construct. The standing measurement for AI Literacy is provided by the AI Literacy Curriculum Map (TAL-06) and the Adoption-lens telemetry (ADM-01), which together track curriculum coverage and real-world uptake across the legal function.

AI Literacy is a capability, not a delivery format or a superficial outcome. It is measured via TAL-06 (Curriculum Map) and ADM-01 (Adoption-lens telemetry), and is required for responsible AI deployment at any Maturity Band.
