Paragraph 3 leaves other obligations and the freedom to organise one's own resources unaffected. Paragraph 4 requires, to the extent the deployer exercises control over the input data, that such data is relevant and sufficiently representative in view of the intended purpose. Paragraph 5 requires monitoring on the basis of the instructions for use and informing the provider in accordance with Article 72; where there is reason to consider that use may result in a risk within the meaning of Article 79(1), the deployer shall without undue delay inform the provider or distributor and the relevant market surveillance authority and suspend use, and upon identifying a serious incident shall immediately inform first the provider and then the importer or distributor and the market surveillance authorities. Paragraph 6 requires keeping the automatically generated logs under the deployer's control for a period appropriate to the intended purpose and of at least six months, unless Union or national law provides otherwise. Paragraph 7 requires deployers who are employers to inform workers' representatives and the affected workers, before putting into service or using the system at the workplace, that they will be subject to its use.

fits all when it comes to AI literacy and that no strict requirements or mandatory trainings are imposed. On certification, the Q&A states literally that there is no need for a certificate and that organisations can keep an internal record of trainings or other guiding initiatives. On assessment, it states that Article 4 of the AI Act does not entail an obligation to measure the AI knowledge of employees. On governance, it states that no specific governance structure is mandated to comply with Article 4, so that unlike the data protection officer under the GDPR, no AI officer needs to be appointed. On the level, the Q&A states that following the Digital Omnibus amendment AI literacy remains an obligation for providers and deployers of AI systems, but that no specific or sufficient level is mandated and that the Regulation does not require guaranteeing any specific level of AI literacy of any individual. Against that, the Q&A states that simply relying on the AI systems' instructions for use or asking staff to read them might be ineffective, and that organisations should take into account general AI understanding within the organisation, whether they are a provider or a deployer, the risks associated with the systems deployed, staff knowledge gaps considering technical knowledge, experience, education and training, and contextual factors such as sector, purpose and affected populations. The Q&A further states that organisations may implement different levels of training or learning approaches depending on knowledge, experience, education and role, and that staff with a degree or experience in AI development are normally considered AI literate, while the organisation must still verify that those persons understand the specific AI systems of the organisation, know how to deal with them and are aware of all risks.","source_locator":"Commission Q&A on AI literacy, sections on required level, training formats, certificates, assessment of knowledge and governance structures (consulted 9 August 2026)"},{"label":"Article 4 reaches beyond your own staff, and the national supervisor enforces it","statement":"The Commission Q&A on AI literacy states that Article 4 applies to providers and deployers of AI systems and in addition to other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf, covering persons broadly within the organisational remit, with a contractor, a service provider and a client given as examples. On clients, the Q&A states that they may need AI literacy depending on the specific risk, reasoning that affected persons should understand how decisions taken with the assistance of AI will have an impact on them. On geographic scope, the Q&A states that the AI Act's legal framework applies to both public and private actors inside and outside the EU as long as the AI system is placed on the Union market, used in the Union, or its use has an impact on people located in the EU. On supervision, the Q&A states that the supervision and enforcement of Article 4 is not with the AI Office but under the remit of national market surveillance authorities, and that supervision and enforcement began on 2 August 2026, while Article 4 itself entered into application on 2 February 2025. On sanctions, the Q&A states that national market surveillance authorities could impose penalties and other enforcement measures for infringements of Article 4, that this will be based on national laws that Member States were due to adopt by 2 August 2025, that any sanction must be proportionate and based on the individual case taking into account factors such as the nature and gravity of the infringement and its intentional or negligent character, and that sanctions are more likely if there is proof of an incident due to a lack of appropriate training and guidance. Article 4 is not listed in the enumeration in Article 99(4) of the AI Act, which covers only Articles 16, 22, 23, 24, 26, 31, 33(1), (3) and (4), 34 and 50, so the level of any penalty for Article 4 follows from national law rather than from the Regulation's own ceilings. The Q&A further states that Article 4 reinforces the transparency provisions of Article 13 and the human oversight provisions of Article 14 and indirectly contributes to the protection of affected persons, and that for deployers of high-risk systems the Article 26 obligation to ensure staff are trained to ensure human oversight is a distinct requirement; that requirement becomes applicable on 2 December 2027 for standalone Annex III systems and on 2 August 2028 for Annex I systems.","source_locator":"Commission Q&A on AI literacy, sections on target groups, geographic scope, supervision and enforcement, and sanctions (consulted 9 August 2026)"},{"label":"Article 6 has two separate routes to high-risk","statement":"The European Commission's draft guidelines on the classification of high-risk AI of 19 May 2026, which are expressly non-binding, state in paragraph (7) that an AI system is high-risk in two scenarios: first, where it is intended to be used as a safety component of a product, or is itself a product, covered by the Union harmonisation legislation listed in Annex I and required to undergo third-party conformity assessment; and second, where it falls within one of the use cases in the areas listed in Annex III.

Under these draft guidelines this applies in particular where such uses are feasible and reasonably foreseeable given the system's functionalities and capabilities. The same paragraph states that merely asserting, for example in the terms of service, that high-risk uses are excluded is insufficient where the provider's overall presentation, examples or product positioning effectively provides for or promotes such uses, and that any limitations of use must be described clearly, concretely and coherently across all materials.","source_locator":"Draft guidelines on high-risk AI classification (19 May 2026), General principles chapter, section II.2, paragraph (12)"}],"examples":[{"label":"Facial recognition at access control: the guard behind the camera counts too","situation":"An organisation secures the entrances to its buildings with facial recognition and uses that biometric access control to register visitors as well.

Whether a general introduction to what AI can do is then enough for someone carrying an output into a file that affects a person's position as a suspect, we doubt, but the provision expressly names no level you must guarantee, so that floor is yours to justify. We would record for each role what someone must be able to recognise, for instance that a discovered connection is not yet evidence, and revisit that choice periodically.","source_locator":"Article 4(1)","provenance":"editorial"},{"label":"Newsroom with generative AI: do freelancers count within your measures?","situation":"A newsroom uses generative AI to prepare summaries, headlines and imagery, after which an editor finishes the piece and the desk decides to publish. Part of that work sits with freelancers, and an outside agency produces marketing content with the same tools. The question is whether your AI literacy measures must reach those freelancers and that agency, or only the people on the payroll.","outcome":"Article 4(1) is addressed to providers and deployers of AI systems and requires them to take measures supporting the development of AI literacy of their staff and of other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf. The provision requires them to take into account technical knowledge, experience, education and training and the context the AI systems are to be used in, as well as the persons or groups of persons on whom the AI systems are to be used. It does not require any specific level of AI literacy of any individual to be guaranteed.","lesson":"Alongside staff, the text expressly names other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on your behalf, and we read that as a functional boundary rather than a contractual one. On that reading a freelance editor using your tool inside your workflow and on your instruction sits within your measures, employment contract or not. The outside agency is a harder case: if it works in your environment and on your instruction, the argument that it acts on your behalf holds up, but if it runs its own tools on its own account it is a deployer in its own right, and Article 4 does not say your measures must cover that work. In practice, in our assessment, that means recording in your agreements who works in which role and what instruction you give, rather than trusting the other side to arrange it.","source_locator":"Article 4(1)","provenance":"editorial"},{"label":"An induction call with the customer at the moment of go-live","situation":"Asimov AI is a micro organisation of at most fifteen people that supplies AI services for legislative work to government institutions and companies. With every new contract it holds one or more induction calls with the team leads and officials who will use the platform, explaining how the platform and the underlying models work and how hallucinations arise in this domain and can be mitigated.","outcome":"This practice was submitted by the organisation itself to the Commission living repository. The repository collects and shares practices; it does not approve them or set them as a standard.","lesson":"This practice puts literacy where the risk arises: with the people who will operate the system, at the moment they start. For a small provider that is also the only workable moment, because there is no training department to redo it later. Anyone adopting it should record who attended and what was explained, because otherwise the effort survives only in the participants memory a year on.","source_locator":"Living repository of AI literacy practices, practice submitted by the organisation concerned","provenance":"official"}],"standards":[{"label":"ISO/IEC 5259 series: data quality for analytics and machine learning","summary":"The five-part international series on data quality, in practice the most usable structure for the Article 10 data governance dossier.","statement":"The ISO/IEC 5259 series (Artificial intelligence: Data quality for analytics and machine learning) comprises five parts: part 1 (overview, terminology and examples), part 2 (data quality measures), part 3 (data quality management requirements and guidelines) and part 4 (data quality process framework), all published in 2024, plus part 5 (data quality governance framework), published in February 2025.
