A big milestone is coming up for the EU AI Act. In this episode of Lunchtime BABLing, CEO Dr. Shea Brown delves deep into the “AI Literacy Requirements of the EU AI Act,” highlighting key compliance obligations that will come into force on February 2, 2025.
The episode places particular emphasis on Article 4 of the Act, which outlines mandatory “AI literacy” measures for companies that develop, implement, or utilize AI systems within the European Union. Dr. Brown stresses that “AI literacy” goes beyond a surface understanding of artificial intelligence; it requires that companies ensure their workforce is adequately trained to comprehend how AI technologies function, their potential risks, and how to responsibly manage their deployment.
This literacy is critical not only for those directly involved in AI development but also for management teams, as they need to make informed decisions about AI integration in their business processes. By providing practical tips, such as initiating AI training programs, establishing internal guidelines, and collaborating with external experts, Dr. Brown offers a roadmap to help organizations navigate these new regulations and minimize potential non-compliance risks.
Topics discussed:
- AI literacy obligations for providers and deployers under the EU AI Act.
- The importance of AI literacy in ensuring compliance.
- An overview of BABL AI’s upcoming courses, including the AI Literacy Requirements Training for the general workforce, launching November 4.
