## Definition
|
|
Cultural intelligence is the capability to design products, prompts, and workflows that work respectfully and effectively across cultures by accounting for language, naming, symbols, calendars, norms, and representation.
|
|
|
|
## Key Aspects
|
|
- Global-first assumptions instead of Western-only defaults
|
|
- Cultural context research before output generation
|
|
- Structural inclusion rather than tokenistic representation
|
|
- Accessibility and localization as part of the core design
|
|
|
