Your Staff Need to Be
AI Literate. That's the Law.

Irish healthcare organisations must demonstrate AI literacy training for all staff. GovernedAI gets you there — audited, trained, certified, and evidenced.

"Providers and deployers of AI systems shall take measures to ensure, to their best extent, a sufficient level of AI literacy of their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf."
EU AI Act — Article 4 · Obligation in force: 2 February 2025
What This Means for You

Trained. Certified. Evidenced.

Article 4 is not optional. If your organisation uses any AI system — from clinical decision tools to simple scheduling software — your staff need documented AI literacy training. HIQA and the DPC will expect to see proof.

Who it applies to

Every healthcare organisation using AI

Hospitals, GP practices, care homes, community services, CHOs — if your organisation uses AI in any form, Article 4 applies to you. This includes off-the-shelf tools, not just bespoke systems.

What "sufficient" means

Training matched to role and risk

There is no one-size-fits-all standard. Staff at higher risk levels need deeper training. Everyone needs the basics. GovernedAI structures training to match each role — and issues certificates as your compliance evidence.

When enforcement starts

Obligation now. Enforcement from August 2026.

The duty has applied since 2 February 2025. National market surveillance authorities begin formal enforcement from 2 August 2026. If an incident occurs before then, lack of training will be examined.

The evidence you need

Records that hold up to scrutiny

HIQA and the DPC need to see: who was trained, when, on what, and to what standard. GovernedAI issues named completion certificates for every staff member — ready for your compliance file.


Two Steps to Compliance

Start with the Audit.
Close the Gap with Training.

Most Irish healthcare organisations don't know exactly where they stand with Article 4. The free audit tells you. The training closes the gap — with certificates your organisation can show as evidence.
