  "account": "The concept of AI fluency is becoming increasingly important for companies, with UBS already considering it a key factor in career progression. The pressure to demonstrate AI competence has led some to engage in superficial exercises, but UBS is taking a more serious approach. The bank is implementing learning programs and allocating dedicated time for employees to develop their AI skills. This includes a weekly \"AI power hour\" where staff can ask a system for guidance on how to best incorporate AI into their roles. In hiring and promotion decisions, UBS now considers AI fluency, with questions about a candidate's ability to use AI tools, their experience with building AI agents, and how their usage has changed in the past six months. Companies vary in their approach to AI fluency, with some resorting to superficial metrics that don't indicate true value. For UBS, it's crucial that any AI output is authorized by a human, as errors could lead to uncomfortable situations. The bank is trying to bridge the gap between early adopters and latecomers in the Swiss business landscape, where many are still trying to find a balance between verification and productivity.",
