Frequently asked questions
How do I fulfill the AI literacy requirement under Art. 4 EU AI Act?
Through measures that enable personnel to deploy AI systems competently and to assess opportunities and risks – adapted to prior knowledge and area of use. Documented training of all users is the customary way to prove compliance.
Is there a mandatory AI certificate?
No. The EU AI Act does not prescribe a specific certificate. What is important is proof of who was trained, when, and on what content – which the Armstrong certificate provides.
Is online safety training legally permissible?
Yes. Safety training may be conducted electronically if the content is workplace-related, comprehension is tested, and employees can ask questions of a competent person at any time (DGUV Regel 100-001 (rules of German statutory accident insurance), Abschnitt 2.3). Armstrong tests comprehension with knowledge questions and provides a question function.
How is the safety training documented?
Upon completion, each person receives a certificate with their name, date, topic, and the result of the knowledge test. Participation can be retrieved by the employer at any time in the participation matrix – this provides proof of documentation in accordance with § 4 Abs. 1 DGUV Vorschrift 1. (German statutory accident prevention regulation)
