AI-Act · Art. 4 · since 02/2025

The duty in brief

The AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) has been in force since August 2024. Article 4 on AI competence applies since 2 February 2025 — it affects SMEs that merely use AI, too.

Article
Art. 4

Providers and deployers must ensure a sufficient level of AI competence among their staff.

Applies since
02/2025

The competence duty has applied since 2 February 2025 — regardless of the risk class.

Affects
Deployers

Anyone using AI in their operations (e.g. ChatGPT, copilots) already counts as a deployer.

More on the AI Act
Frequently asked

Answered in brief

Does this also apply to small businesses?

Yes. Article 4 does not depend on company size. As soon as AI is used in your operations, the competence duty applies — including in small plant-construction or manufacturing businesses.

Is a one-off training enough?

A good start, but competence is ongoing: tools and use cases change. A recurring refresher plus a well-maintained AI policy makes sense.

What needs to be documented?

It should be traceable which trainings took place, which rules apply and which tools are approved. No bureaucratic monster — but reliable.

How does Aptenio help, concretely?

We train your team in-house on real tasks and accompany the implementation, including AI policy and documentation — ready for the AI-Act duty.
