New Whitepaper Release: AI Literacy Requirements under the EU AI Act
AI literacy requirements according to Art. 4 AI Act – Legal analysis and practical measures
With the adoption of the EU AI Act, a binding legal framework for the risk-based use of artificial intelligence has been established for the first time. A central element of this regulation is Article 4, which requires providers and deployers of AI systems to ensure an appropriate level of AI literacy. This obligation applies to all organizations working with AI technologies and is particularly relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises.
A new whitepaper from the hessian.AI network offers a systematic legal analysis of these requirements and translates them into practical measures. It provides organizations with clear guidance on how to structure, develop, and implement AI literacy within their operations.
The whitepaper includes:
- A structured legal interpretation of the AI literacy obligations under Article 4
- An integrated competence model at both individual and organizational levels
- A two-stage process model for assessing and developing AI competencies
- A framework for mapping roles and competence requirements
- Practical recommendations for implementation, especially for SMEs
