AI LITERACY E-LEARNING · EDITION 2026 · COURSE VERSION: UNIFORM EU-WIDE (DE AND AT)

AI Literacy E-Learning

The course covers what employees should know about AI systems: risk classes, prohibited practices, deployer and provider obligations, handling data in AI tools, and the bridge to the GDPR. It is aimed at everyone who operates or uses AI systems on behalf of the company — not only at IT. The course version is uniform EU-wide and applies to Germany and Austria: the legal basis is the same EU regulation — the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) — only supervision and contact points differ.

WHY THIS TRAINING

Art. 4 AI Act requires measures — not a particular level of competence for each person.

Providers and deployers of AI systems take measures to support the development of AI literacy among their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf; technical knowledge, experience, education and training, and the context in which the systems are to be used all have to be taken into account Art. 4(1) AI Act. It is expressly clarified that no particular level of AI literacy has to be guaranteed for any individual. Art. 4 belongs to Chapter I and has applied since 2 February 2025 Art. 113(3)(a) AI Act; paragraph 1 has applied since 27 July 2026 in the version of Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. What “AI literacy” means is defined in the regulation itself: the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to deploy AI systems knowledgeably and to become aware of the opportunities, the risks and the possible harm Art. 3(56) AI Act. In Germany, market surveillance has rested with the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) since 29 July 2026, unless sectoral authorities are competent § 2(1) KI-MIG; as at 17 August 2026 Austria had not designated a market surveillance authority under Art. 70 AI Act — the AI service desk (KI-Servicestelle) at RTR provides information and advice without supervisory powers.

The course is one such measure and documents participation. According to the questions and answers of the European Commission (as at 27 July 2026, non-binding), a certificate is not required; an internal record of trainings and other measures is sufficient. The certificate of participation issued after the final quiz is not an official certification and does not replace legal advice.

WHO IT IS FOR

For everyone who uses AI on behalf of the company.

Employees who use AI tools

Art. 4 covers staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on behalf of providers and deployers Art. 4(1) AI Act. That is exactly the role the course addresses — down to the question of which data does not belong in an AI tool. Designed for employees at screen-based workplaces: the stories play out in email, chat and login.

Management, IT and compliance

The chapters on risk classes, prohibited practices and deployer and provider obligations set out which role your company takes in each use case. The obligation under Art. 4 applies to providers and deployers alike — including where AI is only purchased and not developed.

Germany and Austria

The course is uniform EU-wide because the regulation applies directly in both countries; only supervision and contact points differ. DE: the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) as market surveillance authority, unless sectoral authorities are competent § 2(1) KI-MIG. AT: as at 17 August 2026 no designated market surveillance authority; the AI service desk (KI-Servicestelle) at RTR provides information and advice.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

In short.

Do we need a certificate for Art. 4 AI Act?

No. According to the questions and answers of the European Commission (as at 27 July 2026, non-binding), no certificate is required; organisations can keep an internal record of trainings and other measures. The course delivers exactly that: a printable certificate of participation per person and the chapter overview as evidence of the content.

Does Art. 4 apply if we only purchase AI and do not develop it?

Yes. The obligation to take measures supporting the development of AI literacy applies to providers and deployers of AI systems alike (Art. 4(1) AI Act). The course covers deployer and provider obligations in separate chapters so that it becomes clear which obligations apply in your role.
