| # theCommons Academy: AI Upskilling Overview (Sample Document) |
|
|
| This is a sample document for testing the RAG demo. Load it, then ask questions like |
| "What are the three program tiers?" or "What is the Human Only Zone?" to see retrieval |
| and citation working. |
|
|
| ## The Program Ladder |
|
|
| theCommons Academy runs a three-tier AI upskilling ladder on one shared curriculum spine: |
|
|
| - **Tier 1: The Demystifier** is a 90-minute introductory session offered free as a |
| top-of-funnel experience. It removes fear and builds basic AI literacy. |
| - **Tier 2: Agency in a Day** is a six-hour build sprint where participants ship a real |
| working AI use case by the end of the day. |
| - **Tier 3: The Accelerator** is the eight-week flagship program. A six-week "Rapid |
| Deployment Track" variant exists for teams that need to move faster. |
|
|
| ## The Six-Domain Competency Spine |
|
|
| Every tier draws from the same six competency domains: |
|
|
| 1. **D1 Literacy** covers foundational understanding of how AI systems work. |
| 2. **D2 Use-Case Selection** teaches learners to pick high-value problems worth automating. |
| 3. **D3 Production** is hands-on building of working AI solutions. |
| 4. **D4 Governance** introduces the Human Only Zone framework for responsible AI use. |
| 5. **D5 Identity and Voice** uses the FuBO archetypes to match AI use to a person's working style. |
| 6. **D6 Agentic Orchestration** covers coordinating multiple AI agents toward a goal. |
|
|
| ## The Human Only Zone (HOZ) |
|
|
| The Human Only Zone is theCommons Academy's governance framework. It sorts every step of |
| a workflow into one of three zones: |
|
|
| - **Green zones** are machine-owned. The AI can act freely here. |
| - **Yellow zones** are shared. The AI drafts, but a human must verify before the work is used. |
| - **Red zones** are human-owned. A person must make the decision; AI may inform but never decide. |
|
|
| The core governance lesson is that responsible AI is about assigning zones to the stages of |
| a workflow, not bolting a policy document on at the end. |
|
|
| ## The FuBO Archetypes |
|
|
| FuBO assessments place each person into one of seven working archetypes: the Commander, the |
| Creator, the Architect, the Oracle, the Connector, the Guardian, and the Amplifier. The |
| Guardian archetype is naturally suited to owning Red zones, since Guardians prioritize |
| oversight and risk control. |
|
|
| ## Credentials |
|
|
| Learners earn verifiable credentials through Open Badges 3.0. The "AI Practitioner / |
| Governance" badge is awarded for demonstrating a governed AI build with proper zone |
| assignment and a true-net return-on-investment calculation. |
