AI Literacy at Work: The EU AI Act Article 4 Playbook
Your staff already use AI at work — which means the EU AI Act's literacy obligation already applies to you. Four hours to build a defensible programme: find the AI nobody declared, decide who needs how much training, and keep the evidence that proves you did.

Description
A working playbook for Article 4 of the EU AI Act. Establish whether you are a provider or a deployer, inventory the AI systems already in use, apply the risk-based test for what counts as sufficient training, teach the four things every user must understand, and assemble the evidence file — without a legal budget and without inventing certainty the Regulation does not provide.
Key information
- Learning objectives
- Determine whether your organisation is a provider, a deployer, or both
- Inventory the AI systems in use, including the ones nobody declared
- Apply the risk-based test for what counts as sufficient AI literacy
- Teach the four competences that make a colleague practically AI-literate
- Recognise prohibited practices and the transparency duties that apply from 2 August 2026
- Assemble an evidence file that shows how you decided this was enough
- Who it is for
- Anyone who has to make AI literacy real: managers, HR and L&D leads, compliance and quality officers, training organisations, and owners of small and medium businesses operating in or selling into the EU.
- Prerequisites
- None. No legal or technical background is assumed. Some familiarity with how your own organisation uses software will make the inventory exercise faster.
- Duration
- 4 h
- Price
- €9.99 VAT not applicable
- Teaching format
- E-learning
- Teaching methods
- Self-paced e-learning: structured written modules with worked examples, tables and role cards, two checkpoint quizzes and a final assessment. Designed so the exercises produce the actual compliance documents rather than practice ones.
