Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act) · AI literacy applicable since 2 February 2025

AI Act compliance starting from the human factor

The AI Act turns AI literacy into a legal obligation: staff who use AI systems have to understand what they do, where they fail and how to oversee them. We give you the training programs, the assessments and the evidence, mapped to the articles of the regulation and segmented by audience.

People remain at the centre of AI

The AI Act starts from a human-centric approach: decisions that affect people are not fully delegated to a machine. Since 2 February 2025, ensuring a sufficient level of AI literacy among those who operate these systems is a legal obligation (Article 4), not an optional best practice.

What the AI Act requires of your people

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act) takes a risk-based approach and sets obligations that land directly on people. Three of them define your training program.

Mandatory AI literacy

Article 4 requires providers and deployers to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy among their staff, taking into account their knowledge, their role and the context of use. It is an obligation applicable since 2 February 2025.

Human oversight of high-risk AI systems

Article 14 requires that high-risk AI systems can be overseen by people able to understand their limits, interpret their outputs and decide when to intervene or stop them. That oversight calls for trained people, not just technical controls.

Responsible use and transparency

The obligations of the deployers (Article 26) and the transparency obligations (Article 50) depend on people knowing when they are facing an AI, what they can and cannot do with it, and how to report abnormal behaviour.

A ready-made program, segmented by audience

You do not have to build it from scratch. The content mapped to the AI Act comes ready and is assigned by audience in a couple of clicks, each level with its own language and focus. One track guides leadership from the risk-based approach through to the response to serious incidents, and the other takes all staff from basic literacy to responsible everyday use.

10 training modules mapped to the AI Act, ready to assign 30 pieces in all. Each module comes with its training, its exam and its reinforcement newsletter, split across two audience tracks, one for leadership and one for all staff. ✓ Included in the base content package, not as paid add-on content

All staff

What AI is and what it is not, how to use it responsibly at work, how to spot deepfakes and AI-generated fraud, and what rights you have when facing an automated decision. Four literacy modules that apply from any role, without jargon.

Leadership and C-level

The regulation at a glance and the risk-based approach, the prohibited practices of Article 5, the obligations of anyone deploying high-risk AI, human oversight and impact assessment, transparency and the response to serious incidents. Six modules for whoever governs the use of AI in the organization.

Compliance mapped to the AI Act

Each piece of content is linked to the articles of the regulation it covers. From the platform’s regulations management you verify the degree of compliance based on the training assigned to each person.

And every piece leaves traceability: who completed what, what result they obtained and how it evolved. That is the evidence that turns “we trained our people” into something verifiable.

More than 700 organizations sustain their program with SMARTFENSE

We have spent more than 10 years helping organizations in banking, healthcare, critical infrastructure and the public sector reduce human risk and leave auditable evidence that they do. The difference from a generic campaign is traceability: who was trained, what result they obtained and how it evolved over time. That is the evidence an AI Act review will ask for.
