- AI tools are being integrated into daily routines rapidly, but adoption alone doesn't measure impact.
- The report explores how individuals develop 'AI fluency'—skills to use AI effectively.
- A taxonomy of behaviors representing AI fluency was tracked across anonymized conversations.
- The most common expression of AI fluency is augmentative, treating AI as a thought partner.
- Users are less likely to question AI's reasoning when it produces artifacts like code or documents.
- The 4D AI Fluency Framework defines 24 behaviors for safe and effective human-AI collaboration.
- 11 observable behaviors were studied in 9,830 conversations on Claude.ai.
- Iteration and refinement in conversations strongly correlate with higher AI fluency behaviors.
- Users become more directive but less evaluative when creating outputs like code or documents.
- Three areas for improving AI fluency: staying in conversation, questioning polished outputs, and setting collaboration terms.
- Limitations include sample skew towards early adopters and partial framework coverage.
- Future work includes cohort analyses, qualitative research, and exploring AI fluency in Claude Code.
