What AI literacy really means
Why it matters
AI literacy means skills, knowledge and understanding that allow providers, deployers and affected persons […] to make an informed deployment of AI systems, as well as to gain awareness about the opportunities and risks of AI and possible harm it can cause."
- Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (EU AI Act), Article 3(56)
AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude and DeepL are already part of everyday work. Article 4 of the EU AI Act turns this definition into an obligation for every organisation using AI. Article 26 adds a separate, firm requirement for staff operating high-risk AI systems - our current programmes cover Article 4; Article 26 is scoped individually on request.
AI literacy is more than basic knowledge. Research on AI literacy in the workplace points to five dimensions this training is built around:
Understanding
Reflection
Behaviour
Motivation / confidence
Human–AI interaction
Built for real work, not IT teams
Who it's for
Suitable for non-technical participants - employees and self-employed professionals across functions, and anyone who uses AI tools on behalf of their own business:
Operations
Admin
Sales
Marketing
HR
Finance
Customer support
Legal ops
IT coordination
Management
Freelancers & self-employed
AI Literacy at Work
What you'll learn - and how
Four daily habits, ten concrete skills, one structured 4-hour curriculum - not just definitions.
1. Scope the task
Is AI suitable here? Is the tool approved? Will the output be used internally, externally or in a sensitive context?
2. Avoid sensitive data
Protect personal, client, confidential and business-sensitive information before it ever reaches an AI tool.
3. Fact-check the output
Check for hallucinations, bias, outdated information and unsupported claims before using the result.
4. Escalate when risk is high
Involve a manager, legal, security or data protection contact when the task or data is sensitive.
After this training, you will be able to:
Explain what AI, generative AI and large language models are in plain language.
Identify which tasks are suitable — and unsuitable — for AI support.
Protect confidential, personal, client and business-sensitive information.
Check AI-generated outputs before using them in professional work.
Know when human review, manager review or escalation is needed.
Recognise where AI already appears in your everyday work tools and workflows.
Use prompts more clearly, effectively and responsibly.
Recognise hallucinations, bias, outdated information and overreliance.
Recognise AI-enabled cyber security risks such as phishing, deepfakes and social engineering.
Describe the basic purpose of AI literacy documentation under the EU AI Act.
AI is already at work - where AI appears in daily tools, assistance vs. automation vs. decision support, approved and non-approved tools
How generative AI works, simply - LLMs, prompts, context, outputs, and why AI can sound confident while being wrong
Safe use rules - personal data, client data, confidential information, credentials, source code, copyright and approved tool rules
AI risks in real work - hallucinations, bias, outdated information, missing context, false confidence, automation bias
AI & cyber security - AI-generated phishing, deepfakes, fake invoices, fake HR requests, social engineering
Prompting for responsible work - task, context, constraints, audience, format, checking before use
Human review & accountability - when review is required, who owns the decision, when to escalate
Knowledge check & Certificate - scenario-based questions, personal SAFE-use checklist, Certificate of Completion
