Layer 2 · Frameworks
The evidence layer shows an industry demanding capability it has not defined. This layer is CFTE's definition: frameworks developed across books, whitepapers and institutional work, and used to read every record on this hub. Declared openly as CFTE's intellectual position, grounded in verified evidence.
The reference framework for defining, assessing and developing AI proficiency across the professional workforce. The centre of gravity of this hub.
Five domains: AI literacy, practical usage, problem solving, ethics and governance, and strategy. Together they define the foundation proficiency is built on, and they are what the AIQ assesses.
The why beneath the hub: how AI reshapes jobs, capability, performance and talent systems across individuals, organisations and nations.
The written foundations: the AI Literacy Whitepaper, The Impact of Generative AI in Financial Services, the AIPF reference paper, and both AI-fication books.
The AIQ and CFTE's capability diagnostics operationalise everything on this page.
