Ablerun (CEO Jinah Park), an AI education company for all, has released the first AI literacy competency assessment tool in the domestic AI education industry. Generative AI is rapidly spreading, but until now, there has been no standard for users to check their own level of understanding or gauge their learning direction. Through this diagnostic method, Ablerun has concretized the starting point of AI learning and enabled individuals and organizations to check the questions they need.

The evaluation items were composed with reference to the AI competency standards presented by UNESCO and the research of the Institute of Medical Education at the University Hospital of Bonn in Germany. The study is a case in which 53 global experts in the field of AI education systematized the items through multi-stage reviews and Delphi studies. Based on the advice of overseas doctoral researchers who conducted the actual research, Ableun newly designed the item structure and interpretation system suitable for the domestic environment, and domestic university professors and AI education practitioners participated in the development process. Ableun's internal education design team led the item interpretation and scale adjustment, and the final response results will be provided as item-by-item analysis and visualization data. Through this, users will be able to check their level of understanding of AI utilization and secure practical standards for designing future learning.

In particular, this evaluation method is characterized by focusing on the user's attitude toward accepting AI and the way it is used rather than technical proficiency. To this end, the evaluation questions were designed to ask how AI is viewed and judged in daily life or work, and were designed with examples close to real life so that even those unfamiliar with AI can participate without difficulty. Based on this understanding-centered approach, we aimed to provide specific learning motivation to individuals who were vague about using AI.

Ablerun aims to provide a new standard for individuals who want to start learning through this competency assessment, as well as practitioners who want to understand the level of understanding of members within an organization. It is currently being provided to Ablerun students first, and can also be used jointly by companies and institutions upon request.

Park Jin-ah, CEO of Ablerun, said, “AI has now become a topic that everyone must understand and judge in their daily lives and work. In order to realize AI education for everyone, Ablerun wanted to create a standard that can check each person’s level of understanding and design learning,” and added, “This evaluation method is the starting point. In the future, we will design education that can be used immediately in the workplace and create learning experiences that lead to real changes.”
