Request the training→Four reasons to act on the duty now.
Mandatory since February 2025
Article 4 EU AI Act applies regardless of risk class or company size. As soon as AI is used in the company, the literacy duty applies.
Documented and legally sound
Participation is documented per person. Content is traceably aligned with Art. 4. In an audit case the evidence holds.
Broad audience
Suitable for everyone using AI systems or affected by them. No technical background required.
Annual refresher
Given how regulation keeps moving, we recommend an annual refresher. The training is built for it.
Six modules in half a day.
What is AI? Basics and how it works
Machine learning, generative AI, large language models, without mathematical depth but with clear terminology.
- Place machine learning, generative AI and LLMs without going into maths
- Use terms like token, context window and hallucination with confidence
- Describe the strengths and limits of current models realistically
Legal frame: EU AI Act and ISO 42001
What the regulation requires from providers and operators.
- Judge the scope of Art. 4 for your own role
- Position ISO 42001 as a management-system frame
- Tell provider obligations apart from operator obligations
Risks and typical failure patterns
Hallucination, bias, manipulation through inputs, ageing knowledge.
- Spot hallucination, bias and prompt manipulation in output
- Treat knowledge cutoff and outdated training data as a risk
- Check critical output systematically rather than accepting it blindly
Permitted use cases
What I am allowed to do with AI, and what I deliberately do not.
- Tell permitted AI use cases from prohibited ones in your workplace
- Apply internal guidelines and do's & don'ts in daily work
- Document edge cases and clarify them with supervisors
Reporting duties and escalation
When to inform whom.
- Document unusual AI behaviour in a structured way
- Know and use the escalation paths inside the organisation
- Place the role and responsibility of the AI officer correctly
Questions & your own examples
Open exchange.
- Bring in your own practical examples from daily work
- Leave the training with concrete recommendations for action
- Capture open points to feed back into your own organisation
Art. 4 evidence as an entry point to the bigger package.
The literacy duty under Article 4 is just one building block. If you want to set up EU AI Act and ISO 42001 in full, the AI compliance consulting package provides the full frame, from executive briefing to governance design.
What participants can do after the module.
What we are often asked.
Do all employees really need to take this training?
Art. 4 requires literacy for staff operating AI systems on behalf of the company or affected by them. In practice that covers nearly all knowledge workers, as soon as your company provides or internally uses AI applications. A broad rollout is the legally sound path.
How does this relate to the other AI governance trainings?
This training covers the basic Art. 4 evidence. The AI governance trainings go further, with role-appropriate formats for leadership, officers and employees. The Art. 4 course is the entry point, the governance trainings go deeper.
Does the training need to be repeated annually?
Art. 4 itself does not name an interval. Common and recommended is an annual refresher, to catch changes in regulation, internal policies and AI tools. We keep content up to date accordingly.
How is participation documented?
Each participant receives an individual participation record with date, content and duration. The documentation is audit-ready and can be filed into your existing training evidence system.
Can the training be tailored to our company?
Yes. Module 04 (permitted use cases) and Module 05 (reporting paths) build on your internal policies. If those are still missing, we recommend the upstream governance build-out from AI compliance consulting.
Fulfil the Art. 4 duty, compact and documented.
Half-day format, broadly applicable, with audit-ready participation records. Remote, on site or hybrid.
