As organisations across Europe navigate the implementation of the EU AI Act — including Article 4, which addresses the importance of AI literacy — there is growing interest in accessible and practical training resources. This document presents a non-exhaustive selection of AI literacy programs that may be useful for companies, institutions, and professionals seeking to better understand AI technologies, their risks, and their responsible use in the workplace.
This resource will be regularly updated to reflect the latest training opportunities. If you offer or are aware of training programmes that promote AI literacy in line with Article 4 of the EU AI Act, please contribute to help us strengthen this living overview: taylor@futureoflife.org
How were the programs selected?
Each program included in this list was individually reviewed and selected based on the following criteria:
- Alignment with Article 4 of the EU AI Act – Programs must explicitly or demonstrably support the development of AI literacy in line with the regulation, including:
- Understanding what AI is and how it works;
- Awareness of the risks, benefits, and ethical considerations of AI;
- Enabling informed human oversight and responsible use.
- Clear target audience – Programs are intended for professionals, organisations, or the general workforce (not limited to technical audiences).
- Accessible format – Online or blended learning, with reasonable duration and availability in the EU.
- Transparency – Publicly accessible descriptions, pricing (or clear “on request”), and duration.
- Geographic and sectoral diversity – Effort was made to include initiatives from different EU countries and provider types (public, private, legal, academic).
Database of AI Literacy programs

Recommended EU Commission resources
The European Commission has published a living repository of company practices related to AI literacy, which is updated on a regular basis. This list does not automatically grant a presumption of compliance with Article 4, but it does encourage exchange of best practices among providers and deployers of AI systems.
