For SME owners and leaders deciding where to spend their next training or hiring dollar on AI. Most businesses are still measuring "AI-ready" by whether staff can use ChatGPT, when the real gap is critical thinking, verification, and judgment, the skills that determine whether AI output actually gets used safely. Mr Gold and Ben breaks down what separates a team that's genuinely AI-ready from one that's just tool-literate, and what to look for (and ask about) before your next hire or training spend. One takeaway: if your team can't explain how they'd catch a wrong AI answer in their own work, tool literacy isn't the gap you have.Please follow and share this episode to everyone!⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠ to our ProMind AI newsletter.Leave a comment below, we’d love to hear from you.
