AI Literacy Measures Record

The EU AI Act's Article 4 prescribes no form, certificate or filing; what you need is to be able to demonstrate you took proportionate measures. This is that record: six sections, two pages, kept current. Fill it in right here (click any dotted line), then print or save to PDF.

1Scope: where AI is used

Proportionality only means something against a mapped scope. List the AI tools/systems in use, who uses them, and the risk of that context. Include sanctioned and known shadow use.

Tool / systemTeams / roles using itContext of useRisk level

2Needs assessment: the baseline

Article 4's own factors: staff's technical knowledge, experience, education and training, and the context the AI is used in. Record how you assessed the baseline and what it found.

Groups needing deeper measures

3Measures taken

The training, policy and guidance delivered, with dates, audiences and completion. Keep copies/versions of materials as appendices.

4Role-differentiated depth

"Sufficient" is relative to role and risk. Show that depth follows exposure.

Higher-risk deployers

5Effectiveness: evidence it worked

What separates a real record from a tick-box one: a signal the measures changed capability or behaviour.

Assessment / scores
Behavioural indicators
Spot checks / incidents

6Review: keeping it current

A stale record is weak evidence. State the cadence and what forces an update.

Notes. Educational template, not legal advice; verify obligations specific to your organisation with qualified counsel. Article 4 of the EU AI Act (AI literacy) has applied since 2 February 2025, enforceable by national authorities from August 2026; the May 2026 Digital Omnibus provisional agreement reframes it as a duty to take measures to support the development of AI literacy, which makes this record of measures the key artifact. No format is prescribed by the Act; this template reflects the factors Article 4 itself names. The EU AI Office also maintains a living repository of AI-literacy practices you can compare against.

Need the measures, not just the record?

The AI-Fluent Workforce Workshop produces most of this as a by-product (needs assessment, measures, effectiveness evidence) in one or two hands-on days.
