Estonia has launched its first AI literacy competency model, designed specifically for the national context and funded by Eesti.ai. This initiative aims to establish a unified standard for evaluating how well the working-age population can utilize artificial intelligence and to support the targeted development of these skills.

The model outlines AI-related competencies at basic, application, and advanced levels. It encompasses five key domains: AI technologies and applications, AI ethics and security, human-centric thinking and communication, AI system design, and information and data literacy. The development of this model cost 3,400 euros.

This framework is intended to provide a clear benchmark for individuals and institutions, enabling a more structured approach to improving AI literacy across Estonia. The goal is to ensure that citizens are equipped to navigate and leverage AI effectively in various aspects of their lives and work.
