The EU AI Act, from the user’s side

The EU regulation on artificial intelligence, the AI Act, adopted in 2024, distinguishes the providers of an AI system from its deployers, that is, the organisations that use it in their activity. A company working with Learnya is in this second role. The AI Act can concern it even if it is established in Switzerland, whenever the output produced is used in the Union.

Since 2 February 2025, Article 4 has required organisations that use AI systems to take measures to ensure a sufficient level of AI literacy among their staff, taking into account their knowledge and the context of use. Training teams is therefore no longer just good practice. The Academy’s paths and their certificates can serve as a record of this effort.

The AI Act classifies certain uses as high-risk, notably in employment, such as sorting applications or evaluating performance, in education, for access to training or the assessment of pupils, and for access to certain essential services. These uses bring stronger obligations for the deploying organisation: human oversight, monitoring of operation, keeping logs, informing the people concerned.

• Identify among your uses those that affect a decision about a person.
• For those, keep a person who decides, and AI as an aid to preparation.
• Inform the people concerned about the use of AI.
• Check the application timetable in force, which is staggered according to the obligations.

The AI Act also sets transparency obligations, for example disclosing generated audio or visual content that imitates a real person, or generated text published to inform the public without human review. Your acceptable use policy can turn these cases into a simple rule: when do we say that content was produced with AI?
