AI Readiness Assessment

Understanding your AI readiness is beneficial to design a customized learning path that allows you to close knowledge and skill gaps as quickly as possible.

This Hacking HR’s comprehensive assessment tool helps you gauge your preparedness across four crucial dimensions: Knowledge and Understanding, Skills and Competencies, Mindset and Adaptability, and Ethical Awareness and Responsibility.

This 20-question assessment uses a simple 1-5 scoring system, providing clear insights into where you stand in the AI revolution.

With scores ranging from 20 to 100 points, you can quickly identify whether they're highly prepared or need additional development in specific areas.

Breaking Down the Four Pillars of AI Readiness

The assessment's framework reveals what organizations value most in the AI era:

1. Knowledge and Understanding: Beyond basic AI literacy, this dimension evaluates your grasp of AI's capabilities, limitations, and how it differs from traditional software. Staying current with AI developments is equally crucial.
2. Skills and Competencies: This section assesses practical abilities, from using AI-powered tools to communicating AI concepts across technical and non-technical audiences. Data analysis capabilities and process improvement skills are particularly valued.
3. Mindset and Adaptability: The assessment recognizes that success with AI requires more than technical skills. Your openness to change, willingness to learn, and ability to embrace AI collaboration are key indicators of future success.
4. Ethical Awareness and Responsibility: Perhaps most critically, the tool measures your understanding of AI ethics, bias awareness, and commitment to responsible AI implementation—essential skills for the ethical deployment of AI technologies.

The Assessment
