The EU AI Act’s implementation has led to an 866% increase in AI course enrollments among enterprise learners, highlighting a growing demand for AI education. As businesses comply with the Act’s requirements, they are embedding AI learning into their training frameworks to prepare for the evolving digital landscape.
The first provisions of the EU AI Act, which require companies to ensure AI literacy within their operations, started to apply on February 2. Organizations must take measures to promote AI literacy among their staff and stakeholders to comply with the new regulations.
The EU AI Act has officially banned certain high-risk AI applications, requiring companies to ensure their staff have a sufficient level of AI literacy. The European Commission has released guidelines to clarify the scope of the ban and provide practical examples for compliance.
The EU AI Act introduces the “AI literacy” principle, which mandates that organizations ensure their staff possess the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively use and assess AI systems. This requirement applies to all AI systems, regardless of their perceived risk level, and takes effect on February 2, 2025.
