What must my organisation do for AI literacy under Article 4?

Map who works with which AI systems and take appropriate measures to develop their AI literacy. Consider technical knowledge, experience, education, the context of use and the people affected by the AI system. Keep an internal record of the measures selected.

Is AI literacy training legally mandatory?

Article 4 requires appropriate measures but does not prescribe a specific training or standard course. Training can be an appropriate measure. Guidance, work instructions and practical exercises may also count when they fit the role and context.

Does everyone need to reach the same AI literacy level?

No. Since 27 July 2026, Article 4 expressly states that no specific individual level must be guaranteed. The approach may differ by role as long as the organisation considers relevant knowledge, experience, education, context of use and impact.

Do employees need an Article 4 certificate?

No. The European Commission says no certificate is required. A certificate can still form part of an internal record together with training records, work instructions, practical guidance and periodic review.

Which route fits training, evidence or wider AI governance?

Praxikon provides explanation and primary sources. LearnWize fits role-based team training, assessments and records for all staff. When Article 4 is part of a wider approach covering the AI inventory, risk classification, policy and governance, Praxikon carries that out itself, for example with a signed assessment or as external DPO with AI oversight.

Does Praxikon deliver this training directly?

Yes, for lawyers and boards. Praxikon gives half-days on the AI Act for lawyers, at Embed AI, a training institution recognised by the Netherlands Bar (NOvA), and sessions for boards and executive teams. Zahed Ashkara, legal adviser, gives them. AI literacy for all staff runs through LearnWize.

When should I choose LearnWize?

Choose LearnWize when you need to make AI literacy demonstrable for employees, management or specialists with modules, certificates and team reporting.

When should I choose a Praxikon service?

When you want the work done for you. You hire Zahed Ashkara as an AI and privacy legal adviser, you take external DPO and AI oversight, or you ask for a signed assessment, such as an AI Act classification or a DPIA and FRIA. Zahed Ashkara does the work himself.
