Frequently Asked Questions
What is Article 4 (AI literacy) of the EU AI Act and why is it important for our business?
Article 4 requires organisations to ensure that employees who use AI systems have a sufficient level of AI literacy.
The AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) introduces a clear obligation: providers and deployers of AI systems must take measures to develop the AI‑related knowledge and skills of their staff and anyone operating or using AI systems on their behalf.
In practice, this means that organisations need to make sure employees understand how AI systems work, their limitations, risks, and responsible use — taking into account each person’s role, background and the context in which AI tools are used.
Supervision and enforcement of this requirement will apply from August 2026.
Who does Article 4 (AI literacy) of the EU AI Act apply to?
It applies to any organisation whose employees use AI systems as part of their work — even if they only use tools like ChatGPT.
Article 4 requires organisations to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy for all staff who operate or use AI systems. This includes everyday, low‑risk use cases such as writing marketing text, drafting emails, or translating content with generative AI tools.
Employees should understand the specific risks of the AI systems they use — for example hallucinations, bias, confidentiality issues, overreliance, and responsible use practices. That is why even simple use of ChatGPT or similar tools triggers the AI literacy requirement.
The self‑paced AI Literacy training for employees covers these essential topics and helps organisations meet the expectations of Article 4.
If someone is a technical specialist, are they automatically AI‑literate?
Not necessarily.
Technical experience provides a strong foundation, but AI literacy covers more than development skills. Even experienced engineers may have gaps in areas such as AI ethics, organisational risk awareness, responsible use practices, handling confidential information, understanding bias and hallucinations, or knowing how AI tools should be used within their specific workplace context.
The self‑paced AI Literacy training for employees addresses these non‑technical but essential topics — including responsible AI use, confidentiality and GDPR considerations, copyright and intellectual property, human oversight, cybersecurity risks, and what to do when something goes wrong.
The course is suitable for beginners, but it also provides valuable content for technical staff who need a broader, organisation‑aligned understanding of AI.
What happens if an organisation does not comply with Article 4 of the EU AI Act?
National authorities may impose proportionate enforcement measures, but the approach is not meant to be punitive.
Under the AI Act, Member States will supervise compliance with Article 4 starting from August 2026. If an organisation is found to have insufficient AI literacy measures for employees who use AI systems, national market surveillance authorities may apply penalties or other enforcement actions based on national law.
However, enforcement follows a proportionate, case‑by‑case approach. Sanctions must consider the nature and gravity of the situation and whether the organisation acted intentionally or negligently. Issues are more likely if an incident occurs due to employees not being properly trained or guided in the use of AI tools.
In addition to public enforcement, private individuals who suffer harm may also seek damages if the harm resulted from an organisation not meeting its Article 4 obligations.
The purpose of Article 4 is not to punish organisations, but to ensure that employees understand how AI systems work, their limitations and risks, and how to use them responsibly.
