AI Literacy – Art. 4
Requirement
Since 2 February 2025, providers and deployers are obliged to ensure that their staff and other persons involved in the operation and use of AI systems possess a sufficient level of AI competence (AI Literacy).
What Is AI Literacy?
Art. 4 requires that persons operating AI systems:
- Understand the capabilities and limitations of the AI systems
- Recognise the potential impacts on affected persons
- Are able to use AI systems as intended
The requirement is proportional — the required level of competence depends on the context, the risk level and the potential impacts.
