EU AI Act comes into force – time to think about AI training

The EU AI Act is now officially in force. Whilst many of the provisions will apply from two years’ time, one of the requirements that kicks in a bit earlier relates to AI literacy and applies from 2 February 2025 (along with the provisions on prohibited AI practices). The requirement is as follows:

“Providers and deployers of AI systems shall take measures to ensure, to their best extent, a sufficient level of AI literacy of their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf, taking into account their technical knowledge, experience, education and training and the context the AI systems are to be used in, and considering the persons or groups of persons on whom the AI systems are to be used.”

Action must be taken soon to ensure appropriate training is provided to comply with this requirement.
