Frontier AI Skills Gap Self-Assessment for Teams

Thanks for taking a few minutes for this one! We're trying to understand how comfortable people feel using AI tools at work right now, and where we should focus training. Your responses are completely confidential and anonymized. Fully honest answers are the most useful ones — this takes about 6 minutes.

In the last 30 days, how often have you used generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini) in your day-to-day work?

• Not at all
• A few times
• Weekly
• Daily
• Multiple times a day

How confident do you feel doing each of the following right now?

Which of the following AI-related training have you received in the past 12 months?

• Formal company-provided training or workshop
• Self-directed learning (courses, videos, articles)
• Peer or manager mentoring
• Vendor or tool-specific onboarding

Which of these skill areas most needs development on your team, and which needs it least?

• Writing effective prompts
• Spotting inaccurate or fabricated AI output
• Data privacy and security practices with AI tools
• Automating repetitive tasks with AI
• Using AI for coding or technical work
• Using AI for writing and communication
• Judging when NOT to use AI
• Collaborating across teams on AI-assisted work

How confident are you that your team's overall AI skills will keep pace with how fast the technology is changing?

What is the single biggest thing stopping you from using AI more effectively in your role?

• Lack of training or guidance
• Unclear when AI is appropriate to use
• Not enough time to experiment
• Concerns about data, security, or accuracy
• Limited access to tools or licenses
• Little encouragement from leadership or managers

Anchor on the skill area where this respondent rated their confidence lowest and the barrier they picked as biggest. Get a concrete, recent example of a moment that gap actually slowed them down or produced a bad outcome, and ask what specific support (training, tool, time, permission) would have closed the gap in that moment. If they say they have no confidence gaps at all, probe whether that's because they genuinely feel prepared or because they simply avoid using AI for anything ambiguous.
