What is the AI training obligation under Article 4?

The AI literacy obligation follows from Article 4 of the EU AI Act. Organisations must take measures to support the AI literacy of everyone who operates or uses AI systems on their behalf.

Since when has the obligation applied?

The Article 4 AI literacy obligation has applied since 2 February 2025. Since then, providers and deployers must take context-appropriate measures. The regulation does not prescribe a specific certificate.

Does the obligation also apply to small companies?

Yes. The obligation attaches to the role as provider or deployer, not to company size. The scope and depth of the measures may be adapted to the context.

Is a hackathon enough as proof for an audit?

The format contributes to AI literacy as a role and context appropriate measure and produces documentation from real project artefacts. Your organisation assesses the adequacy of its overall programme itself.

Do our employees need to be able to code?

No. The tool workshop brings everyone to the same baseline. Teams build with Cursor, Lovable, n8n, Claude Code, Gamma and custom GPTs, all usable without a developer background.

What happens with our company data?

All access and data are set up in a privacy compliant way beforehand. Sensitive data stays under your control, and we align the setup with your IT and compliance team.

What services do you offer?

AI Hackathon (Spark, Ignite, Blaze), Leadership Enablement and Implementation Sprint, bookable individually or combined into a programme.

How much preparation do we need?

Very little. We handle tool selection, setting up access and credits, facilitation and documentation. You bring your real tasks.

Five AI agents leadership teams build on day one

In the Adobe hackathon, the leadership team built five agents in one day, without a developer background. Here is what each one does.

1. Email reply assistant

Pulls context from the inbox, replies in the manager's own tone and triages incoming mail by urgency. Effort: around two hours.

2. Daily briefing agent

Bundles to-dos and commitments from emails and chats into a daily overview waiting in the inbox each morning.

3. Meeting-to-action-items

Turns transcripts into owners, deadlines and next steps, including handoff into the project tool.

4. Executive reporting autopilot

Pulls data from existing sources and produces a board-ready update with commentary.

5. Internal knowledge bot

Answers questions on strategy, policies and playbooks directly from the company's own documents.
