Artikel 4 AI-kunnighet


Summary What does Article 4 of the AI Act say?

This brief but foundational article establishes an AI literacy obligation for both providers and deployers of AI systems.

Rather than prescribing a specific training programme or curriculum, it sets a general standard: those who develop or deploy AI systems must take measures to ensure that their staff and anyone else handling those systems on their behalf has a sufficient level of understanding of AI.

Notably, the obligation is calibrated to the individual — what counts as sufficient takes into account the person's existing technical knowledge, experience, education, and training, as well as the specific context in which the AI system is used and who it affects.

Important points:

  • Both providers and deployers of AI systems must take measures to ensure sufficient AI literacy among their staff and anyone operating AI systems on their behalf.
  • The standard of literacy required is not fixed — it must be assessed in light of each person's existing knowledge, experience, education, and training.
  • The context of use matters: the persons or groups on whom the AI system is used must also be considered when determining what level of literacy is sufficient.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Leverantörer och tillhandahållare av AI-system ska vidta åtgärder för att i största möjliga mån säkerställa att deras personal och andra personer som för deras räkning arbetar med drift och användning av AI-system har tillräcklig AI-kunnighet, med beaktande av deras tekniska kunskaper, erfarenhet och utbildning samt det sammanhang i vilket AI-systemen ska användas, och med hänsyn till de personer eller grupper av personer på vilka AI-systemen ska användas.
