Competence & AI Literacy
Skills, awareness and training of people building or using AI.
// Do once → satisfies all three
ONE role-based AI literacy curriculum with completion records AND an effectiveness check (not just attendance).
Art.4 makes AI literacy a hard legal duty for every provider/deployer; the same artefact satisfies ISO competence and NIST workforce outcomes.

Art.4
// Evidence auditors expect
- ✓ AI literacy training curriculum + completion records (Art.4)
- ✓ Role-based competence matrix with refresh cadence
- ✓ Awareness comms log (newsletters, town halls)
- ✓ Evaluation of training effectiveness (not just attendance)
// Common pitfalls
- ⚠ Treating 'AI literacy' as a one-off e-learning click-through.
- ⚠ Training generic developers but not deployer-side reviewers and managers.
- ⚠ No evidence of effectiveness - completion ≠ competence.
