Two forms of critical AI literacy and why they matter for farming communities - CGIAR

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone, and now you're more skeptical than before. That's not a you problem. That's a deployment problem. Here's what a CGIAR farming initiative quie

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone, and now you're more skeptical than before.

That's not a you problem. That's a deployment problem.

Here's what a CGIAR farming initiative quietly got right that most business AI rollouts completely miss: they didn't just give farmers an AI chatbot. They taught farmers two things — how to use it AND how to question it.

That second part is the one your consultant never mentioned.

When your team doesn't trust a tool, they won't touch it. Not because they're resistant to change. Because nobody showed them when to trust the output and when to push back on it. That missing step is why most AI tools collect digital dust.

One thing you can do this week: pick the one person on your team who already asks good questions. Give them your AI tool and one specific task to test it on. Their honest feedback tells you more than any vendor demo ever will.

You don't need a new tool. You need one person who understands the one you have.

That's how a first win actually happens.

What's your experience been — did anyone actually train your team when you rolled out your last AI tool, or were you just handed a login and a password?
