Article 4 AI literacy training
What does Article 4 ask for AI literacy training?
Article 4 of the EU AI Act has required since 2 February 2025 that organizations organize appropriate AI literacy for everyone working with AI, matched to role, knowledge level, and context. It prescribes no fixed course format or standard certificate. LearnWize is the platform that translates Article 4 into role-based learning paths, testing, and an audit-ready evidence dossier. Embed AI runs the scan and the Readiness Sprint, Responsible AI Platform explains the rule.

ReportArticle 4
Article 4 is not a checkbox, but an organizational duty.
The law does not prescribe a fixed course format. That means you need to substantiate why the selected training fits roles, context, tools, and risks.
A generic awareness session is often too thin.
Roles and AI use cases differ strongly.
A certificate without substantiation lacks context.
Leadership needs demonstrable coverage.

Background
From Article 4 as a duty to demonstrable AI literacy
Article 4 of the EU AI Act is not a checkbox, but an organizational duty. Since 2 February 2025 you must organize appropriate AI literacy for everyone working with AI, matched to role, knowledge level, and context. Because the law prescribes no fixed course format, you must substantiate why the chosen training fits your roles, tools, and risks. Enforcement in the Netherlands is ramping up in 2026 and the context is still moving via the Digital Omnibus.
LearnWize is the platform that makes that duty concrete. You first map which people work with which AI systems, you classify the risk per use, you assign the right learning path per role, and you log every completion in an audit-ready dossier. Governance tools prove your systems comply, LearnWize proves your people comply. That distinction is exactly where a generic awareness session falls short.
The three brands work together. Responsible AI Platform explains as a knowledge source what Article 4 requires and how it fits in the broader AI Act and Annex III. Embed AI runs the scan and gets the track moving with the Readiness Sprint. LearnWize delivers the training and the evidence. That takes you from an obligation on paper to a defensible chain of evidence.
Start the 5-minute scan and see which roles in your organization need which level of AI literacy, and which evidence you are missing today.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about AI literacy
What does Article 4 ask in practice?
Article 4 asks for appropriate AI literacy, taking into account role, knowledge level, context, and the people affected by AI. It is about proportionality: the level must match the function and the type of AI system. There is no fixed course format and no mandatory standard certificate, so you must be able to substantiate why the chosen training fits. LearnWize records that translation as evidence per employee.
Since when does Article 4 apply and what about enforcement?
Article 4 has applied since 2 February 2025. Enforcement in the Netherlands is ramping up in 2026 and the broader context is still moving via the Digital Omnibus, which may shift some timelines. The obligation itself, organizing appropriate AI literacy, is independent of that movement. Clients and partners already ask for evidence that your people are ready.
Does Article 4 require a specific certificate or standard training?
No. Article 4 does not prescribe a mandatory standard certificate or a fixed training. It requires appropriate AI literacy that matches role, knowledge level, and context. So the quality is not in a seal, but in how it matches role and risk and in the evidence you can show per employee.
How do you make an Article 4 training audit-ready?
Audit-ready means you can show, per person, who was trained to which level for which risk, and when. That requires a chain of role, AI use, risk context, learning path, scenario, score, certificate, and reporting. LearnWize records that chain in a dossier you show when a client or supervisor asks. Governance tools prove your systems, LearnWize proves your people.
How do we start with Article 4 and what does it cost?
Start with the 5-minute scan to see which roles need which level; the first learning paths are ready within a day. The LearnWize Team Program starts from 3,499 euros per year for 10 people, with the final scope set after the scan. If you want a deeper baseline, Embed AI runs a scan of 2,950 euros (creditable) and the Readiness Sprint of 9,900 euros gets the track moving. Responsible AI Platform explains Article 4 further.
Is this a legal compliance guarantee?
No. LearnWize helps organizations organize AI literacy in a practical and demonstrable way. Formal legal advice or a compliance opinion should be assessed separately.
Why is a certificate alone not enough?
A certificate is useful, but often misses the link to role, AI use, risk context, scenario practice, and management reporting. That chain makes the evidence stronger.
Where do we start if we do not have a clear overview yet?
Start with the AI Literacy Readiness Scan. It maps roles, AI use, priorities, and missing evidence pieces.
