What this topic covers
Article 4 requires that staff who use AI have a sufficient level of understanding. The duty has applied since 2 February 2025 and binds even companies that only use AI. This section shows how to meet it proportionately and without complexity.
- The duty binds both providers and deployers.
- The required level is proportionate to staff roles and context.
- For a small business, a short briefing and usage guidelines are enough.
- It covers awareness of AI's limits, errors and bias.
- It helps to note down that literacy measures are in place.
This section is an overview and is being expanded over time. It is general information, not legal advice — for a specific case, consult a qualified professional.
