We believe that AI literacy is not only fundamental to increasing trust and transparency in AI systems, but also the key to accelerating AI adoption and innovation.

CGI has been recognized for excellence in this area with our own internal AI literacy strategy, and we work together with our clients to design an approach that best meets their business needs:

AI’s rapid advancement presents enormous opportunities, yet many organizations struggle to fully realize its benefits. The focus and investment are often on the technology side only, while the organizational, cultural and knowledge-related shifts required for success are neglected. With the introduction of new technologies, at an individual level, there is a need to address both the fear and uncertainty around the impact and the opportunity to enable individuals to leverage the technology fully.

As Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of MIT, wisely stated:

“A century ago, factories electrified without rethinking their production lines and therefore saw no productivity benefits. In much the same way, machine learning technology without management and organizational change will be ineffective.”

This insight captures today’s challenge. AI adoption isn’t just about technology; it requires strategic alignment, cultural adaptation and workforce readiness. Like past digital transformations, organizations that fail to prioritize AI literacy face the risk of stalled initiatives, inefficiencies and missed opportunities.
