Article 4 · in force since 2 February 2025

Your company needs to act on your employees' AI skills. That's not a recommendation.

The EU AI Regulation requires employers to take measures that support their employees' AI literacy. AI-Ready is six short lessons with quizzes, completion tracking and a documentation pack you can put forward.

Included in your subscription. No added cost, no extra setup.

First, the thing nobody else writes: everything else was postponed — this wasn't

In July 2026, the EU postponed large parts of the AI Regulation: the rules for high-risk AI were pushed back to December 2027. The obligation to support employees' AI literacy was not postponed. It was rewritten and kept in place.

The requirement binds both those who develop AI and those who simply use it — that is, the vast majority of companies. It applies across all risk levels, even when employees are just using an ordinary chatbot — and with no size threshold: there is no exemption for small companies, whether by headcount, turnover or industry. And the requirement is that you do something — not that every employee is an expert. You must be able to show what you have done.

That's why the documentation isn't bureaucracy — it IS the compliance. The Commission says so itself: neither certificates nor exams are required, but the organisation can keep an internal register of completed training. That is precisely what a completed lesson with a quiz and a timestamp is.

And now the part a salesperson would normally skip: the regulation attaches no fine to Article 4. The penalties provision lists exhaustively what triggers a fine, and Article 4 isn't on that list — we've checked the consolidated text. The fine ceiling that's often quoted applies to other rules. Sanctions are instead set nationally, and in Denmark there are currently none. So the reason to do it anyway isn't fear of a fine. The obligation applies, and when an untrained employee makes a mistake with AI, it's the company that's held responsible. Customers and partners may also ask you to show what you've done.

What you get

📚

Six nano-lessons

Three minutes each, written for every employee — including those who aren't sitting at a desk. Each lesson ends with a quiz you have to pass. Six, not twenty: one a month means you have full documented coverage in six months instead of waiting two years.

🧾

Documentation that holds up

The training evidence report shows figures for the whole organisation as a PDF or CSV: how many have completed, and when. It deliberately shows no names. Administrators can see who has completed what on each employee's page, and the full history with dates per person can be downloaded as a CSV from the data export.

✉️

Rollout without a project

Employees get a link in their own inbox and are up and running in a minute. No installation, no passwords to remember, no course portal to learn.

🌍

Nineteen languages

If you have employees who don't read Danish, they get the lesson in their own language. At no extra cost — it's the same product.

The six lessons

Written for the warehouse worker and the nurse just as much as for the office. No technical jargon, no legalese for its own sake.

  1. AI-Ready: what the law expects of you

    Three minutes on AI at work — what you're allowed to do, what to watch out for, and why it's your responsibility.

    3 min.
  2. What you never type into an AI

    Everything you write to a chatbot leaves the building. Here's the line you shouldn't cross.

    3 min.
  3. AI sounds confident — even when it's wrong

    It writes with the same self-assurance whether it's right or not. Here's how to check.

    3 min.
  4. AI suggests, you decide

    The danger isn't that AI gets it wrong. It's that no one takes the time to check.

    3 min.
  5. When AI assesses people

    Applicants, employees, citizens — that's where the strictest rules apply. Know the difference.

    3 min.
  6. When AI has got it wrong — what do you do then?

    The mistake is rarely the problem. The silence is.

Why this rather than a course

AI literacy has exactly the same shape as the security training we already do: short lessons, tracking of who has completed them, and proof for the auditor. That's why AI-Klar isn't a new product with its own portal and its own invoice — it's a module in the engine you already have.

If you're already a customer, the lessons are there. If you're not, you get them the day you sign up.

Coming soon: an AI policy in ten minutes

Training is one leg. The other is a written AI policy: what employees may use, for what, and what must never be entered. We're building a generator that drafts it from your answers — and that always requires a human to approve it before it becomes your policy.

Only for a single message when the module is ready. We delete your address within 12 months at the latest. No newsletter, no reselling.

Questions we get

Does Article 4 apply to us too, even though we don't build AI ourselves?

Yes. The requirement covers both providers and deployers of AI systems. If your employees use a chatbot, a translation tool or a meeting-notes feature, you're a deployer.

What happens if we do nothing?

The obligation still applies, and when an untrained employee makes a mistake with AI, it's the company that's left holding the responsibility. Customers and partners can also ask you to show what you've done.

How long does it take for the individual employee?

About three minutes per lesson, including the quiz. Lessons are sent one at a time over time rather than all on one day — that spacing is what makes people remember them.

Can we document it for an auditor, a customer or a partner?

Yes. The training evidence report (PDF or CSV) shows figures for the whole organisation, without names. Administrators can see who has completed what, and when, on each employee's page, and this can be downloaded per person as a CSV from the data export.

Does AI-Klar cost extra?

No. It comes with your subscription in the same way as the rest of the course library.

Was the content written by an AI?

The lessons are written with AI and then edited and reviewed by people, and every reference to the regulation points to the specific article, so you can check it yourself. We mention this because it's exactly the habit the lessons themselves teach: say so when AI has been involved.

Is there a fine if we do nothing?

Not under the regulation — and we're telling you that even though it's a poor sales argument. The penalties provision (Article 99) lists exhaustively what triggers an administrative fine, and Article 4 isn't on that list; the fine ceiling that's often quoted applies to other rules. Sanctions are, however, set nationally, so the final answer depends on which country you're in — in Denmark there is currently no fine for Article 4, and that may change with the upcoming Danish AI act. Whatever the country: the obligation applies, and for high-risk AI, the requirement for trained staff is a separate requirement that DOES carry fines.
