EU AI Act · Art. 4

AI literacy obligation: make your teams competent.

The EU AI Act requires organizations that use AI to ensure an adequate level of AI literacy. We train development and product teams hands-on with the tools they actually use — not generic compliance slides.

What it is about

  • The AI literacy obligation (Art. 4 EU AI Act) applies since 2 February 2025.
  • Further AI Act obligations phase in through August 2026.
  • Practically every organization using AI systems is affected — including in development and engineering.
  • What is required is demonstrable, role-appropriate AI literacy of staff.

Quick checklist

  • Where does your company use AI today (including unofficially)?
  • Which roles need which level of competence?
  • Is the training hands-on with your real tools — or generic?
  • Is competence documented and demonstrable?
  • Does sensitive data stay in-house (on-premise)?

How we help

Request Change does not just set up AI as a training topic — we build the work environment with it: onboarding, new ways of working and the right mindset, on your real tools, fully on-premise on request. AI rarely fails on the technology, often on the mindset. That is exactly where we start.
