Build the foundation
The ability to understand, design, use, and supervise AI systems that can pursue goals through multi-step planning, tool use, state, and action rather than responding only with one-off generated answers.
The ability to move AI from available technology to sustained, responsible use by aligning leadership, workflows, skills, incentives, trust, support and measurement.
The ability to assign work to AI agents, set operating boundaries, monitor performance, review exceptions, and improve the human-agent system over time while retaining clear accountability for outcomes.
The ability to give AI systems and agents clear goals, context, constraints, authority boundaries, success criteria and escalation rules so delegated work can be completed reliably.
The ability to design repeatable tests that measure whether an AI system is accurate, useful, safe, reliable, efficient, and fit for a specific real-world purpose.
The ability to establish decision rights, policies, evidence, oversight, and accountability so AI is selected, built, used, monitored, and retired in ways consistent with organizational goals and acceptable risk.
The ability to identify, analyze, prioritize, treat, monitor, and communicate risks created or amplified by AI across its technical, human, business, and societal context.
The ability to protect AI-enabled systems from adversarial manipulation, data exposure, unsafe tool use, compromised dependencies, excessive permissions, and other attacks across models, applications, agents, and their surrounding infrastructure.
The ability to rethink an end-to-end workflow around the complementary strengths of people, AI, automation, data, and controls instead of inserting AI into an unchanged process.
The ability to divide, coordinate and review work between people and AI so each contributes where it is strongest while humans retain appropriate judgment and accountability.
The discipline of operating language-model applications reliably through versioning, evaluation, deployment, observability, security, cost control, feedback and continuous improvement.
The ability to design and evaluate AI systems that retrieve relevant external knowledge at query time and supply it as grounding context for generated answers or actions.
