The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) is publishing the updated guide "GettingStartedwith AI Literacy. This is an addition to the first guide "Getting Started with AI Literacy." The new guide elaborates on the legal obligation. Practical examples clarify the multi-year action plan that organizations can use to address AI literacy strategically and sustainably.
Organizations developing or using AI systems are required by law to ensure that employees and contractors have sufficient knowledge and skills to use AI responsibly. The AP emphasizes that AI literacy is a core requirement for protecting fundamental rights and taking advantage of technological opportunities.
The handbook provides a practical roadmap:
The AP calls on organizations to organize AI literacy not only bottom-up, but also top-down. Administrators should agenda, budget and actively support the topic.
AI literacy is not only relevant for techies. Policymakers, service providers and external partners also need to understand how AI works, the risks involved and how to deal with algorithms responsibly. The AP emphasizes that there is no "one size fits all" approach: interpretation depends on the context, knowledge level and role of those involved.
The guide "Building on AI Literacy" is available for download on the website of the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
