News: Telta Launches AI Literacy Assessment to Measure AI Proficiency

February 4: Telta Launches the AI Literacy Assessment

Many companies have rolled out AI tools and training, yet it’s hard to tell how well, and how safely, employees are actually using AI on the job.
To clear up that uncertainty and give organizations a starting point for AI transformation, Telta has officially launched its AI Literacy Assessment.

What Sets Telta’s AI Literacy Assessment Apart

• Built on realistic work simulations: This isn’t a multiple-choice quiz with right answers. Open-ended questions based on work scenarios let us analyze, in detail, how people think as they work with AI to complete a task.
• A rigorous AI Skills Taxonomy : Our criteria draw on global frameworks from OpenAI, Stanford, and others, plus a curated analysis of job data from 30 Fortune-listed companies.
• A 15-page results report: Each person gets their individual strengths and weaknesses, along with tailored feedback that supports real growth.
• Flexible scalability: From teams of 10 to organizations of 10,000+, the assessment runs quickly and efficiently regardless of size or role.

Appendix: Original Press Release

(February 4, 2026) Telta, an AI-powered HR intelligence solution, announced the launch of its AI Literacy Assessment, which objectively measures an organization’s ability to use AI.

As AI transformation spreads quickly across industries, companies are moving beyond simply adopting generative AI to asking, “Is our organization actually ready to use AI?” On the ground, however, it is hard to get a clear read on employees’ AI skills, and training often lacks a defined starting point and standard. Telta introduced the AI Literacy Assessment in response, as a framework for measuring AI proficiency.

The assessment is designed to measure an organization’s understanding of AI, its ability to apply it, and its awareness of AI risks before the company commits to AI training or an AI transformation (AX) strategy. According to Telta, it goes beyond testing knowledge to serve as an indicator of how well people use generative AI in real work settings, and can be used as the starting point for designing an organization-wide AI transformation roadmap.

What sets the assessment apart is that it redefines AI proficiency from the perspective of organizational management and talent strategy, rather than technology. Led by HR and organizational development experts who joined Telta, the team identified the core skills companies need in the AI era along two dimensions: “AI Understanding and Risk Awareness” and “AI Application.” Telta emphasizes that because AI is changing how organizations work and make decisions, not just serving as a tool, the standards for measuring it should also be grounded in HR and organizational perspectives.

The AI literacy skill set draws broadly on research and frameworks from leading tech companies and institutions, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, and Stanford University. Telta also selected 30 companies from Fortune’s list of AX leaders, weighted by industry, and analyzed their job postings to build the AI skills employers actually look for into the assessment. A key strength, the company says, is that this gives an evidence-based structure to “the AI skills the workplace actually needs.”

The assessment method also differs from conventional survey-based evaluations. Alongside a small set of standard survey items, its core is open-ended questions that participants answer while actually using an LLM (large language model) during the assessment. Rather than picking a right answer, respondents must solve problems in a generative AI environment and explain their reasoning, which allows Telta to analyze the depth of their AI proficiency in detail.

Every respondent receives an individual report, regardless of how many people take part. Organizations can see not only individual skill levels but also their overall AI readiness and weak spots at a glance, and use that to drive next steps such as training design, role redefinition, and AI governance.

“AI transformation is shifting from a race to adopt technology to a race to build AI proficiency across the organization,” said Dr. Soyoung Jeon, head of Telta. “The AI Literacy Assessment will be the first step for companies to objectively measure how well their people use AI and to set the skill standards their organization needs.”

To mark the launch, Telta is also offering the assessment free of charge to 100 practitioners from companies and institutions. Participants will receive a results report to check their own AI proficiency and gauge their organization’s readiness for AI transformation.
