Does the EU AI Act apply to my business?
Very possibly, even if you're based in the UK. The Act reaches businesses that place AI systems on the EU market or whose AI affects people in the EU — not just companies inside it. The free check gives you a clear answer for your specific situation.
What is Article 4?
It's the AI-literacy obligation. Businesses must make sure the staff who use AI systems have enough training to understand what those systems do and the risks involved. It has applied since February 2025, which is why training is the most common first action.
Is the training certificate an accredited qualification?
No — it's a Certificate of Completion, which is exactly what Article 4 calls for: evidence that your staff have received AI-literacy training. It gives you a dated record for your compliance file, not a formal qualification.
What are the deadlines?
Article 4 has applied since February 2025. The main body of obligations and penalties comes into force in August 2026. Getting your team trained now keeps you ahead of enforcement rather than reacting to it.
