Since February 2025, Article 4 of the EU AI Act obliges companies to ensure adequate AI literacy in their workforce — and that starts at the top. A focused briefing that gives your leadership real fluency instead of buzzwords.
AI decisions are being made in your organisation right now — in procurement, in product, in every team that quietly adopted a tool. Whether those decisions are good ones depends on whether leadership can tell substance from hype, risk from noise, and a genuine capability from a well-produced demo.
The regulatory environment has caught up. Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires providers and deployers of AI systems to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy in their staff — a duty that applies since February 2025 and that supervisory authorities expect management to own. "We didn't understand the technology" has stopped being an excuse and started being an admission.
This briefing is deliberately compact and deliberately honest: what current AI systems actually can and cannot do, where the real risks for your company sit, what the AI Act requires of you as an employer, and which questions separate serious vendors and teams from expensive theatre.
What today's systems genuinely can and cannot do — capabilities, failure modes, and the difference between a demo and a dependable system. Calibrated, not evangelised.
EU AI Act timeline and risk classes, the Article 4 AI-literacy duty, how it interlocks with GDPR — and what supervisory authorities actually expect to see.
When AI goes wrong: who is accountable, what governance structures work, and how to keep human responsibility explicit in AI-supported decisions.
The vendor pitch decoder: questions that expose weak foundations in minutes — on data, evaluation, security, lock-in and total cost.
We close by mapping the briefing onto your organisation: the three decisions to take, the obligations to close, and the signals to start tracking.
No. Before every workshop we run a 30-minute briefing call and tailor examples, exercises and depth to your industry, your stack and your team's starting point. The agenda above is the frame — the content inside it is yours.
Pricing depends on group size, location and how much customisation your context needs. We'll give you a fixed quote after the briefing call — no surprises, no hidden day rates.
Both work. On-site tends to be stronger for group discussion and hands-on exercises; remote splits well into two half-sessions. We run workshops across Europe in English or German.
We calibrate in the briefing call. For technically fluent leadership teams we compress the fundamentals and spend the time on governance, regulation and strategy — the parts that are new even for engineers.
A free 30-minute get-to-know call — we look at your situation, confirm this is the right format and find out if it’s a fit. No pitch, no commitment.
