Why is there a premium on literacy in the AI-written era?
- In a ManpowerGroup survey, among 13,168 employers from 11 countries in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, 69% responded that they would pay a premium for AI literacy holders.
- That same summer, the EU began mandatory supervision of employee AI literacy under AI Law Article 4 trillion.
- However, 69% reflects intention, not actual wages paid.
- The true challenge is that it's difficult to screen resumes to identify those who can question outputs, and if you have European clients, it's better to keep records of your training.
