AI literacy (EU AI Act Article 4)

AI literacy helps people assess whether using AI is a good or bad idea and how to apply it correctly. As of 2 February 2025, every organisation in the EU should take measures to support the development of sufficient AI literacy among their employees, end-users, and anyone else affected by their use of AI systems.

What is the AI Act?

The EU AI Act (Artificial Intelligence Act) is the world's first legal framework for artificial intelligence. It addresses AI-related risks to ensure safe, reliable, and transparent AI usage while respecting fundamental rights and values in Europe. The AI Act will be rolled out between August 2024 and August 2027.
