AI literacy under Article 4 of the EU AI Act: the foundations for your team

Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires organisations to take measures to promote their employees' AI literacy. The Studytube course library covers the general content – from understanding AI to applying it at every experience level – so you don't have to develop the basics yourself.

What Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires of you

Article 4 of the EU AI Act has applied since 2 February 2025. With the so-called AI Omnibus (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744), the provision was amended in July 2026: providers and deployers of AI systems must still take measures to promote the AI literacy of their staff and of other persons acting on their behalf. What's new is that each individual no longer has to demonstrably reach a specific level of competence. The obligation remains in place, but it is worded more flexibly.

Since 2 August 2026, national authorities have been monitoring compliance with the AI Act. Among other things, they can request documentation. Organisations that offer structured training and document participation can show at any time which measures they have put in place. Our training on AI fundamentals, responsible use and application by experience level provides a solid foundation for this.

What our courses cover – and what remains with you

Off-the-shelf courses are a good starting point, but they don't cover the full obligation. Article 4 requires AI literacy in the context of your organisation – depending on which AI systems you use, for what purpose and with what risks. No standard offering can anticipate that. Among other things, these remain your responsibility:

AI Application by Learner Profile

Our courses provide the general foundation. Regularly check whether your own training sessions and workshops still reflect how your organisation uses AI and which rules apply to whom.

What remains with you

  1. 01
    Mapping AI use: which systems are used for what, including "shadow AI"
  2. 02
    Your own rules and instructions for your AI systems
  3. 03
    Assigning who needs which training
  4. 04
    Documenting who completed what
  5. 05
    Including external staff such as freelancers and temporary workers
  6. 06
    Additional obligations for high-risk AI (from 2 December 2027)
  7. 07
    Updating content regularly

Important note: Our offering supports you, but it does not replace legal advice. Full compliance remains the responsibility of your organisation as a provider and/or deployer of AI systems – not of Studytube.

Frequently asked questions about the EU AI Act AI literacy obligation

What does Article 4 of the EU AI Act require of organisations?

Article 4 requires providers and deployers of AI systems to take measures that promote the AI literacy of their staff and of other persons acting on their behalf. The regulation does not prescribe a specific training format or certificate.

Are we fully covered with these courses?

No. The courses cover the general content of AI literacy. Which AI systems you use and how, which internal rules apply and how you document your measures is something each organisation has to define itself. If in doubt, we recommend seeking legal advice.

Has the AI Omnibus abolished the training obligation?

No. Since the amendment in July 2026, organisations must promote the AI literacy of their employees rather than ensure a sufficient level of competence for each individual. Measures such as training therefore remain necessary.

Since when has the AI literacy obligation applied?

Since 2 February 2025. Since 2 August 2026, national authorities have been monitoring compliance with the AI Act.

Who is affected by the obligation?

All employees who work with AI systems, regardless of role or experience level. This also includes freelancers and temporary workers who use AI on your behalf.

Which training does Studytube offer for the EU AI Act obligation?

Our library covers AI fundamentals, safe and responsible use of AI, and application by experience level – ready to use, continuously updated and a foundation that you add organisation-specific content to.

Is one-off training enough?

No. AI technology and its applications are constantly evolving, which is why we recommend regularly updating training content.
