What does AI Act Article 4 (AI literacy) mean for HR?
It means the company must take measures that support the AI literacy of the staff who deal with AI systems, and HR is usually the function that organises it. Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 has applied since 2 February 2025 to providers and deployers alike, so it covers ordinary companies that use AI tools; as amended in July 2026 by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, it states that the company does not have to guarantee a specific level of AI literacy for each person. Good measures still take into account people's technical knowledge, experience, education and training, and the context in which the AI systems are used. Article 4 does not prescribe a certificate, a fixed number of hours or a single course. Practical steps: list the AI systems actually in use and who uses them; define what each group needs to know, from basic risks and the company's policy for everyone to deeper training for those who configure or rely on AI in decisions; keep simple records of who was trained on what and when; and repeat as tools change.
