The EU AI Act contains several provisions that explicitly mandate AI literacy programs and knowledge requirements.
“Providers and deployers of AI systems shall take measures to ensure, to their best extent, a sufficient level of AI literacy of their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf, taking into account their technical knowledge, experience, education and training and the context the AI systems are to be used in, and considering the persons or groups of persons on whom the AI systems are to be used”
Our multi-tiered AI literacy strategy directly addresses these requirements through comprehensive training that builds both regulatory and technical knowledge across the organization.
To provide all staff members with foundational knowledge of AI concepts, regulatory requirements, and ethical considerations in alignment with Articles 4, 9, 16, and 29 of the EU AI Act, which require staff to have “sufficient knowledge, expertise and training” for AI systems.
