\"AIn the 1999 book \u201cThe Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master,\u201d software development expert Andy Hunt wrote<\/a>, \u201cTools amplify your talent. The better your tools, and the better you know how to use them, the more productive you can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although that quote predates the recent proliferation of generative artificial intelligence<\/a> (or genAI), Hunt\u2019s insight still applies to AI strategy in 2024. If you\u2019re a business leader considering how to achieve as much as possible with AI, it\u2019s essential to remember that finding high-quality artificial intelligence solutions is only one piece of the puzzle. Having the world\u2019s best AI on your side won\u2019t matter if your team doesn\u2019t know how to utilize it properly.<\/p>\n

To minimize risks and maximize your AI ROI (return on investment), you\u2019ll need a team with a high artificial intelligence quotient or AIQ.<\/p>\n

What is AIQ?<\/h2>\n

While AIQ originally described an AI solution\u2019s abilities, the term\u2019s definition has changed to a measurement of how ready an organization is to deploy AI, according to the ITPro article, \u201cWhat is AIQ and why is it important?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

In an April 2024 paper published by SSRN<\/a> (formerly Social Science Research Network), researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong University, and Tsinghua University define AIQ as \u201ca person\u2019s ability to use AI to perform a wide variety of tasks.\u201d Based on five studies, the researchers found it\u2019s possible to calculate AIQ by evaluating a person\u2019s performance on various tasks completed with ChatGPT or another artificial intelligence tool.<\/p>\n

Someone with a high AIQ demonstrates skill in the realm of bolstering the unique strengths of AI and humans while simultaneously minimizing the impact of their weaknesses, according to the researchers. This measure of AI-related competence encompasses skills such as the following:<\/p>\n
