Enforcement by national market-surveillance authorities from 2 August 2026 · Civil liability since 2 August 2025

AI literacy check · 4 minutes · EU AI Act Art. 4

Are your employees trained to EU AI Act standards?

Twelve questions, a score across five literacy dimensions, and a concrete training-hours recommendation per tier (executive / operational / technical) — based on Art. 4 EU AI Act, whose enforcement by national market-surveillance authorities starts 2 August 2026.

Important: this is a self-assessment, not a compliance certificate. High-risk systems, provider roles or audit-grade evidence require legal review and a documented training programme.

Methodology

Score computed across 5 dimensions (foundation, risk awareness, tool skills, role differentiation, governance), weighted 2-2-1-1-1. Hour recommendations derived from the score (corridors with factors 0.3 / 0.6 / 1.0 / 1.3 / 1.5) and multiplied by the risk factor. Pure heuristic, no LLM call, no logging of your answers.

How AI-literate is your team?

The AI Literacy Check measures the AI competence in your team and shows where training is needed. Under the EU AI Act, companies must also ensure that staff understand AI well enough — this so-called AI literacy is mandatory. For owners and managers who want their team to work with AI safely and in line with the law.

How it works

  1. 1Describe your team — size, roles and prior exposure to AI.
  2. 2Answer questions on knowledge, usage and safe handling of AI.
  3. 3The check shows the competence level and names concrete training needs.

Frequently asked questions

Do I really have to train my team?
The EU AI Act requires that staff working with AI understand it sufficiently. How extensive the training must be depends on your use — the check gives you a first assessment on that.
Who should fill in the check?
Ideally you as the person responsible for the team, or have individual staff fill it in and compare. It's about an honest picture, not an exam.
Are the results confidential?
Yes. The check runs in your browser, is free and usable without an account. We only see your answers if you actively get in touch with us.
What comes after the check?
Based on the result, a fitting training can be tailored — from a short workshop to guided rollout. Feel free to reach out to us about it.
