What the AI literacy obligation requires, and who it applies to

If you deploy AI systems, Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires you to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy among the people who work with AI on your behalf. The measure is their prior knowledge, their role, and the context of use.

Who the obligation applies to

Almost every company that uses AI, regardless of size or industry. Using ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or an AI-assisted recruiting tool is already enough to trigger the obligation.

What the Digital Omnibus changes

The Digital Omnibus (agreement of 7 May 2026) pushes the obligations for high-risk AI, the Annex III systems, to December 2027. The Article 4 literacy obligation is exempt and continues unchanged.

Timeline · Article 4

What the training covers

You meet the obligation, hold the record of proof in your hands, and see where your AI stands.

The core

A training tailored to your roles and your AI

Up front we briefly capture who takes part and which AI systems you run. From that we build the content, so the training matches each participant's level and context of use.

Taught by role and depth

  • Fundamentals for everyone. Using AI safely day to day, with its limits and duties of care.
  • Depth for leadership. Selecting, overseeing and taking responsibility for AI use.
  • Hands-on operation. For teams that run AI systems day to day.

A record for your compliance file

Certificates of attendance, the content delivered, and a memo with the supporting rationale. With it you can show how you built AI literacy.

Add-on

Technical feasibility of your AI

On request we take in your AI ideas and assess what can be built.

Gives you a clear basis for decisions

For every function that works with AI

Every function brings its own AI and its own obligations. That is why we train them differently.

Executive leadership

Carries the obligation and decides on the risk. You learn what you are liable for and which AI decisions stay with you.

Sales

Uses AI in proposals and customer communication. We show where data protection and confidentiality break down.

HR

Uses AI in recruiting, an area the regulation classifies as high-risk. We train for it with the care it requires.

Marketing

Creates content with AI. We cover copyright and the duty to label.

Customer service

Lets AI talk to customers. We fit in the transparency obligations.

IT and operations

Introduce AI tools. We teach how to run them securely and on the record.

Legal basis: Annex III of the AI Act lists recruiting AI as high-risk, Article 50 governs transparency and labelling obligations.

Trained by people who build AI themselves for the most demanding use cases

Good to know

Three points up front, so you know where you stand.

Do we need a certificate?

No. For the literacy obligation the AI Act does not require a certificate. But if you are audited, you have to be able to show which measures you took. We provide that documentation.

How long does the training take?

It depends on the roles and the group size. We keep it as compact as possible without undercutting the obligation.

Are we liable if something goes wrong?

The obligation stays with you as the deployer; we cannot take the legal responsibility off your hands. What we provide is the training and the documentation that show you took the obligation seriously.
