01
Establish a baseline
Measure knowledge before deciding which intervention each role or cohort needs.
EU AI Act · Article 4
AI literacy needs evidence, not just attendance.
Training records show that an activity happened. genAssess helps organisations understand whether the underlying knowledge is there.
Read Article 404
The practical duty
Build sufficient AI literacy around the systems people use.
Article 4 requires providers and deployers in scope to take measures, to their best extent, to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy among staff and others operating AI on their behalf. Context, technical knowledge, experience, education and the people affected all matter.
This is practical information, not legal advice. AI Act text and implementation guidance can change. Check the official EU source and take advice on how the law applies to your organisation.
A stronger evidence trail
Move from completion records to a capability cycle.
No single test proves compliance. Objective assessment can add one valuable layer to a wider, role-sensitive literacy programme.
02
Reflect context and risk
Interpret readiness alongside role, AI use, decision impact and the people potentially affected.
03
Target development
Use six diagnostic signals to focus learning where capability is weakest or risk is highest.
04
Reassess and evidence
Repeat the measure to show whether knowledge has improved and where further support remains necessary.
Core-6 evidence map
Measure the knowledge behind responsible use.
| Article 4 consideration | Relevant Core-6 evidence | What it can reveal |
|---|---|---|
| Technical knowledge | AI Foundations | Understanding of how AI works and where limitations arise |
| Context of use | Application & Use Cases | Whether someone can judge where AI is appropriate |
| Opportunities and risks | Bias, Ethics & Risk | Recognition of harm, bias and decision impact |
| Safe operation | Data Quality & Governance | Awareness of privacy, input quality and sensitive data |
| Informed interpretation | Output Interpretation & Evaluation | Ability to verify and challenge generated output |
| Human responsibility | Human Oversight & Collaboration | Understanding of intervention, escalation and accountability |
Clear boundary
genAssess supports an AI literacy programme. It does not certify legal compliance.
A defensible programme also needs governance, role-based training, appropriate policies, records, human oversight and ongoing review. The assessment helps make workforce knowledge visible within that system.
