Article 4
EU AI Act · three competencies
Aligned with Article 4 of the EU AI Act. Free, open, and built by operators — Non-Tech AI Advisory.
Who this is for
For everyone who has to use AI — not the people who build it.
Marketing, HR, operations, sales, finance, leadership, L&D, founders. If your work now touches AI but your job title doesn't say "engineer," this is built for you. No technical background required. No prior AI experience assumed.
Why this exists
AI literacy stopped being optional.
Using more AI tools is not the same as knowing how to use them well. The real gap in 2026 isn't access — it's applied fluency: knowing what AI can and can't do, when to trust it, where the ethical and legal lines are, and how to keep a human in control. The EU AI Act (Article 4) now expects organisations to ensure their people have sufficient AI literacy. This series is our open contribution to that — free, structured, and aligned with the three competencies Article 4 names.

Six sessions, one logical arc
From ethics to agents — in the right order.
Each session stands on its own, so you can join the ones you need. But they build in sequence — start at the foundation and you'll leave the series able to use AI well and responsibly. Every session is live, free, and ends with one thing you can apply immediately.

EU AI Act, Article 4
Built around the three competencies the regulation names.
Article 4 of the EU AI Act asks organisations to ensure sufficient AI literacy across three competencies: understanding what AI is and how it works; awareness of its risks, benefits and ethical considerations; and enabling informed human oversight and responsible use. This series is structured around exactly those three. Listed in the Future of Life Institute's AI Literacy Programs directory supporting Article 4.
Sessions 1–2
Understanding & risk awareness
Ethics and responsible use; how the systems work and where they fail.
Sessions 3–4
Responsible, capable use
Reliable prompting; redesigning a real workflow around AI.
Sessions 5–6
Informed human oversight
What an agent is and where the human belongs; what to trust AI with, what to keep in human hands.
Honest note: We give you capability and an honest map. We don't issue a legal compliance certificate — no trainer credibly can. Compliance is your organisation's call, with your counsel. See the FAQ for the participation acknowledgement we do provide.
