Buon pomeriggio, Alessandro

No, non lo è. 

Ho lasciato, di seguito, la sola parte centrale del post, con la questione 
tematizzata.

Let's take a look at Zapier.

... they assess AI fluency by role and maps skills across four levels 
(unacceptable, capable, adoptive, and transformative):

Let me start by saying that when discussing “fluency,” the four categories 
necessarily involve a value judgment: "unacceptable" is worse than "capable", 
which is worse than "adoptive", which is worse than "transformative". The 
optimal column is the last one (“transformative”).
With that in mind, pay attention to the "unacceptable" column.
Across different roles and in various contexts, the employee described in this 
column is someone who is generally skeptical of AI tools and avoids them. This 
is an employee who will likely be fired soon, or a job applicant who will not 
be hired as they do not fit Zapier's expectations.
Pay attention to how this doesn't necessarily mean the person doesn't 
understand AI, or doesn't know how to use it.
In fact, this person might be consciously rejecting AI (or being critical of 
it) for a specific task because they know AI:
will lead to inaccurate outputs
will lead to low-quality outcomes
is proven not to be the best tool to accomplish that specific task
is legally risky for that specific task
might require additional safety or ethical checks
[whatever other perfectly legitimate reason to reject AI deployment in a 
specific professional context]
Zapier and other companies spreading the AI fluency dogma don't want to hear 
about that and don't accept that AI will be rejected, even if it's for a 
legitimate reason.
Critical thinking around AI, and the understanding that it's an automating tool 
that is not suitable for all tasks, is not welcome, even though we have more 
and more studies showing its limitations (the latest one from Apple).
For Zapier and other companies promoting similar AI fluency approaches, AI is 
always good, and it must be accepted, implemented, and praised.
Zapier is a private company, and its management team is free to act as it 
wishes within legal boundaries. This type of corporate culture, however, can be 
harmful. Why?
