Course Objective & Scope
Article 4 of the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) mandates that all providers and deployers of AI systems ensure their staff and contractors possess a sufficient, role-appropriate level of AI literacy. This requirement applies extraterritorially to organizations whose AI outputs are used within the EU market.
Designed specifically to satisfy Article 4 compliance, this course equips business teams with a practical understanding of the Act's four-tier risk framework, prohibited AI practices (Article 5), deployer obligations for high-risk systems (Article 26), and transparency rules (Article 50). Organizations receive a documented Role-Based AI Literacy Matrix suitable for compliance records.
