Article 4(1)
“Providers and deployers of AI systems take measures that support the development of AI literacy among their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf, taking into account their technical knowledge, experience, education and training and the context in which the AI systems are to be used, and considering the persons or groups of persons on whom the AI systems are to be used. Such an obligation does not mean that providers or deployers must ensure that individuals attain a specific level of AI literacy.”
Article 4(2)
“The Commission and Member States support and facilitate the efforts of providers and deployers of AI systems, particularly SMEs, to fulfil the obligation under paragraph 1 of this Article. To that end, the Commission publishes practical examples of how to comply with this obligation on the single information platform referred to in Article 62(3)(b).”
Article 4(3)
“The AI Board adopts recommendations, taking into account the European competence frameworks, to support the Commission and Member States in promoting the AI literacy required under paragraph 1, including by identifying common objectives.”

“The Commission imposes an administrative fine, by decision, on an entity required to comply with Regulation 2024/1689, in the cases, amounts and on the conditions laid down in Chapter XII of Regulation 2024/1689.”
Articles 4 and 27 are not included in the list in Article 99(4)(a)-(g). In its AI literacy questions and answers (updated 20.10.2026; non-binding explanation), the European Commission states: “National market surveillance authorities could impose penalties and other enforcement measures to sanction infringements of Article 4. This will be based on national laws that Member States are due to adopt by 2 August 2025.” The Polish version of this page also provides the author's Polish translation of this quotation.
