Boost Your AI Literacy with Our New Course on the EU AI Act
As AI systems become even more integrated into operations, it’s crucial that all staff members achieve AI literacy. This is not only a best practice but also a requirement under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
The EU AI Act mandates that anyone working with AI in the EU – or serving EU customers – must possess adequate AI knowledge with respect to their technical background, experience, education, and the specific context in which they use AI systems.
What does this mean? Let’s say your HR team uses high-risk AI systems for recruitment and as part of performance evaluations. Under the EU AI Act, they need to understand how these AI tools work, ensure they are non-discriminatory, and be able to explain their decision-making processes.
The deadline for training and compliance efforts to be in place is February 2, 2025. To support this, Skillsoft is excited to introduce new AI courses to help your team meet this deadline:
