AI Competence 2025: Invest in Your Team First

AI is only as good as the people who use it.

The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) is the world’s first comprehensive law to regulate artificial intelligence. Since February 2025, Article 4 has come into effect, requiring companies to ensure that employees working with AI systems possess the necessary knowledge and skills. In other words: companies must build AI competencies to avoid compliance risks and properly prepare their teams.

But instead of simply going through formal training, it’s essential that employees truly understand AI and are able to use it strategically. Because the true success factor isn’t found in algorithms or models, but in the people who work with them. Companies that fail to empower their employees to use AI meaningfully are wasting potential.

This is exactly where the AI Academy comes in — a hands-on enablement program that helps companies equip their teams with the necessary AI skills and empowers them to use AI effectively and strategically.
