Anyone seeking to effectively and responsibly leverage AI tools in their personal or professional life.
This chapter introduces the concept of AI fluency and its importance in our rapidly changing technological world.

AI fluency is more than prompt tricks; it's practical skills, knowledge, and values for effective, ethical, and safe AI interaction.
Automation involves AI completing specific tasks based on instructions, useful for clear outcomes but challenging for exploration.
Augmentation is a collaboration where AI acts as a partner, enhancing creativity and problem-solving for complex tasks.
