Newsroom with generative AI: do freelancers count within your measures?
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.

What this object links to
Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

What this object states
Official fact
Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.
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.

Our interpretation
Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.
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.
