AI Competency Framework
Updated:
4/14/26
An AI competency framework defines the specific skills, knowledge, and behaviours employees need to work effectively with AI tools in their roles. Frameworks break AI capability into distinct, measurable competencies such as prompt engineering, critical evaluation of AI outputs, understanding AI limitations, ethical and responsible AI use, and workflow integration. Well-known AI competency frameworks include the UNESCO AI Competence Framework, SFIA 8 (Skills Framework for the Information Age), and the OECD framework for AI skills. Competency frameworks provide a common language for describing AI abilities across an organisation, guide hiring criteria, shape training programmes, and set performance standards. Different roles require different competency levels within the framework.
