AI proficiency has quietly become the new dividing line in hiring — and most job seekers have no idea it's already happening. Across marketing, healthcare, law, logistics, and finance, employers are reclassifying what skills they actually pay for. Hiring surveys from the past several months show 60 to 75 percent of hiring managers now prefer candidates who can demonstrate working knowledge of AI tools — not building AI, just using it well.

Full breakdown of what AI literacy actually means in practice — and one specific action to take this week. New AI news every weekday — subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's story.
