EDITOR BRIEF
AI fluency is the ability to guide an AI coding tool toward a real result, check whether it is correct, and make decisions the tool cannot. The excerpt says interviews should use a real task with AI available and observe how candidates prompt, verify output, and know when to change course or work manually.
INSIGHTS
