Article 4 · supervised since 2 August 2026
Your employees need to be AI-literate. This isn't a recommendation.
The EU AI Act requires employers to take measures that support their employees' AI skills — and since 2 August 2026 this has been supervised. 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 Act: the rules for high-risk AI were pushed to December 2027. The duty to support employees' AI skills was not postponed. It was rewritten and kept — and from 2 August 2026 the national authorities supervise it.
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 then the part a salesperson would normally skip: the Regulation attaches no fine to Article 4. The penalty provision lists exhaustively what triggers a fine, and Article 4 isn't on the list — we've checked the consolidated text rather than repeating the €15m half the industry quotes; that figure belongs to other rules. The penalty is instead set at national level, and in Denmark there is none today. So the reason to do it anyway isn't fear of a fine: it's the supervision that began on 2 August 2026, it's the day an untrained employee causes harm that someone has to pay for — and it's that it takes three minutes per employee a month.
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
Who completed what, and when — the internal register the Commission itself points to as the documentation. Exported as PDF or CSV, with k-anonymity on the aggregated figures, so a manager can't read off an individual colleague's answers.
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.

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.
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?
National authorities have been overseeing this obligation since 2 August 2026. The law doesn't measure whether your employees can pass a test — it asks whether you can show what you've done. If you've done nothing, you're on shaky ground — both when facing an inspection and the day an untrained employee causes harm that someone has to pay for.
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 or a supervisory authority?
Yes. At any time you can pull a report of who has completed what and when, as PDF or CSV.
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 and reviewed by people, and every reference to the Regulation points to the specific article, so you can check for yourself. Where we use AI as a tool in production, we say so — that's exactly the habit the lessons themselves teach people.
Is there a fine if we do nothing?
Not under the Regulation — and we say so, even though it's a poor selling point. The penalty provision (Article 99) sets out exhaustively what triggers an administrative fine, and Article 4 isn't on the list; the €15m/3% often quoted belongs to other provisions. The penalty is, however, set at national level, so the final answer depends on which country you're in — in Denmark there is currently no fine for Article 4, and that could change with the forthcoming Danish AI act. Whatever the country: the obligation applies, a supervisory authority can ask about it already now, and for high-risk AI the requirement for trained staff is a standalone requirement that IS subject to fines.
