Thanks for putting all this together in one place. I have been thinking about this topic in the context of AI adoption and has several of the same questions in my list ! Love the way you think
You lait is quite comprehensive. If limited on time, you can combine several of these by asking them about a case study on a legacy workflow and how they would augment it with the current tooling. My main goal is to observe the passion for learning this topic. Also which channels they subscribe to learn the latest topics.
Agree - when you combine someone's passion and self-directed learning with real experience designing and implementing tech products / tools in an organisation, that absolutely could be enough.
As for channels, obviously my Substack clearly needs to be on the list yes :-)
This hits exactly why most AI rollouts fail - companies focus on the shiny tools instead of building AI-powered teams. The real challenge isn't technical integration, it's human capability scaffolding. We need frameworks like yours to identify and develop the configuration skills that make AI actually work in practice.
Thanks so much Mackenzie, for your reflections and support. I think that 'AI Skills' will absolutely be required for most knowledge based jobs, and soon... but in the meantime, understanding someone's passion for, and experience with, AI with these sorts of questions is a good place to start.

Thanks so much Vivek for your reflections. Do you have anything on your list that I missed?
