AI Literacy Evidence · EU AI Act Art. 4

AI literacy must be provable, not merely declared.

A training record alone does not prove system-specific AI literacy. Article 4 requires that people deploying AI systems have the literacy needed for their specific role and system context.

EAB connects literacy evidence to each system, each role, and each obligation — making literacy part of the governance record, not a separate HR process.

Why a declaration is not enough

Literacy evidence must be system-specific and role-aware.

Generic training records and policy acknowledgements do not satisfy Article 4. EAB makes literacy evidence structural — connected to the system and the role, not filed separately.

Art. 4 · System-specific

Literacy Linked to Each System

Every AI system has a literacy evidence section. Evidence is not filed in a generic training system — it is attached to the specific system record where the obligation arises.

Role differentiation

Different Roles, Different Evidence

AI System Owners need technical literacy. Business Operators need deployment context literacy. Supervisors need oversight-specific understanding. EAB differentiates by role — not a single checkbox.

Governance integration

Part of the Governance Record

Literacy evidence is not an HR process that runs parallel to compliance. It is a governance artefact inside the system record — visible in the obligation status and audit trail.

Completeness

Completion Status Tracked

Literacy evidence completeness is tracked per person, per system, and per role. Gaps surface before audit. Missing evidence is an obligation gap — not a hidden training task.

Lifecycle

Evidence Evolves with the System

When a system changes scope, purpose, or risk classification, literacy requirements may change. EAB surfaces literacy gaps when system changes trigger re-assessment.

Audit

Exportable Literacy Record

At audit time, the literacy evidence record per system is exportable as a structured artefact — not assembled manually from HR files. The record shows what existed at the time of system operation.

From system registration to audit-ready literacy evidence

AI literacy becomes part of the system governance record.

Literacy evidence is not a separate workstream. It flows from system registration through to evidence readiness and supervisor approval.

1
Platform

Literacy requirements determined by system and role

When a system is registered and ownership is assigned, the platform generates the literacy evidence requirements per role. Requirements are based on the system's risk profile and deployment context — not a generic template.

2
AI System Owner / Operator

Evidence is uploaded and linked to the system record

Role holders upload their literacy evidence — training certificates, competency records, or structured declarations — directly in the system governance record. Evidence is timestamped and attributed on upload.

3
Supervisor

Literacy evidence reviewed as part of approval

Supervisor approval includes a review of literacy evidence completeness. Approval without adequate literacy evidence is flagged. The final approval record shows which evidence was present at the time of sign-off.

4
Ongoing

Evidence stays current as systems evolve

System changes can trigger literacy re-assessment. Evidence records are maintained over time — the governance record shows what literacy evidence existed at every point in the system lifecycle.

AI Literacy Evidence · Art. 4

Make literacy provable — inside the governance record.

A declaration is not evidence. Article 4 requires that AI literacy be demonstrable. EAB makes it structural.
