16:00 – 17:00 Specialized Workshop on AI Literacy (on-site) with Jakub Harašta
The EU AI Act requires providers and deployers to take measures to support the development of AI literacy among their staff and other persons operating or using AI systems on their behalf, yet the scope of these requirements is often unclear. This workshop treats AI literacy as a user-centred regulatory tool and explores how broad legal requirements can be translated into practical, usable interventions rather than generic awareness-raising activities.
