Why test AI literacy? Article 4 EU AI Act makes it mandatory

The fastest way to test a team's AI literacy is a structured AI knowledge test: 10 questions on AI basics, data protection, the EU AI Act and safe use show in around 3 minutes where your team stands. This free test gives you an instant evaluation with a level rating, with no sign-up and no email address.

The test is more than a gimmick: since 2 February 2025, Art. 4 EU AI Act has required every company that uses AI, as a provider or deployer and not only as a developer, to promote the AI literacy of its staff. From 2 August 2026, supervisory authorities can ask for evidence of this. A knowledge test is the quickest way to pinpoint where your team has a concrete training need.

What the AI knowledge test covers

Five topics with two questions each check what really matters when using AI at work: What is AI? (how language models work), Using AI safely (spotting and checking hallucinations), Data protection & GDPR (keeping personal and confidential data out of AI inputs), EU AI Act (obligations and risk classes) and AI in everyday work (labelling obligations, AI policies).

The questions were developed independently and are not a preview of a certificate exam, but they give a realistic impression of the knowledge that matters for using AI at work.

Self-test vs. documented training: the difference

The self-test is deliberately anonymous: nothing is stored, and it produces no evidence. That is the decisive difference from the legal obligation: Art. 4 requires sufficient AI literacy. A certificate is not mandatory, but documented training is the most common way to prove the measures taken.

A strong test result therefore does not replace documented training; it only shows that the basics are in place. A weak result, on the other hand, shows precisely where action is needed before it turns into a compliance risk.

How companies document their training measures

Anyone who wants to meet the obligation properly documents the training, for example with a certificate of participation, although this is not mandatory. In addition, an internal AI policy sets out which tools are allowed and what must never be entered. For a first overview of whether and to what extent the obligation affects you, use the AI Training Obligation Check.

This exact combination of course, exam, certificate and team management with a progress overview is what you get with the AI training with certificate: individual certificate from 19.90 €, team plans from 14.90 € per person, for larger teams from 9.90 € per person, all prices excl. VAT.

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI knowledge test free?

Yes. The AI knowledge test is completely free, requires no sign-up and no email address. The results with a level rating appear immediately after the last question, and no personal data is collected or stored.

Does the test replace AI training under Article 4 of the EU AI Act?

No. The test is a self-assessment and does not produce documented proof. Since 2 February 2025, Article 4 of the EU AI Act has required companies to ensure sufficient AI literacy among their employees. A certificate is not legally required, but documented training with a certificate of participation, as offered by the Provimedia AI Academy from €9.90 per person plus VAT, is the most practical way to build and demonstrate that literacy.

Which topics does the AI knowledge test cover?

The test covers five areas with two questions each: AI basics (how language models work), safe AI use (recognising hallucinations), data protection and GDPR, the EU AI Act (obligations and risk classes) and AI in everyday work. The questions were developed independently and are not part of a certification exam.

When do fines for missing AI training start?

The AI literacy obligation under Article 4 of the EU AI Act has applied since 2 February 2025. Full enforcement begins on 2 August 2026: from then on, supervisory authorities can demand proof and penalise violations with fines. Companies should therefore not postpone training.

What does my test result mean?

The test assigns your result to one of three levels: 0 to 49 percent means “AI beginner”, 50 to 79 percent “Solid foundation” and 80 to 100 percent “AI fit”. You also see the correct answer to every question with a short explanation, so the test itself becomes a learning tool.
