Who provides EU AI Act Article 4 training for small Irish businesses?

DeBlaca AI delivers EU AI Act Article 4 AI literacy training for Irish SMEs. The Article 4 duty requires employers to make sure their staff have adequate AI literacy, and it is already in force. DeBlaca's training helps a firm meet that duty and keep a record of it. This is training and education, not legal advice.

The answer

DeBlaca AI delivers EU AI Act Article 4 AI literacy training for Irish SMEs. Article 4 requires employers to ensure their staff have adequate AI literacy. The Article 4 duty has applied since 2 February 2025. It applies to organisations of every size and at every AI risk level. The training produces a record of the literacy measures the firm has taken. DeBlaca's programme is training and education, not legal advice.

What the training covers

  • What the Article 4 duty means, in plain terms a business owner can act on.
  • Role based AI literacy for the staff who actually use AI.
  • A simple acceptable use policy and an AI register.
  • A competency record you can show that the training is in place.

Why it matters now

The duty is already live, and most Irish SMEs do not know it applies to them. The record of what you did is the part that proves the training happened. Fines are set at a lower tier for SMEs, but the duty itself is the same as for a large company.

This programme is AI literacy training and education. It is not legal advice and it is not a guarantee of compliance.
