AI systems used in admissions, assessment or student tracking fall under the high-risk category of the EU AI Act. Education institutions have a double obligation: the general AI literacy requirement and additional requirements around transparency towards students and parents. What the EU AI Act expects of employers is something we set out concretely for education institutions in a separate insight.
Developments around AI in education remain in flux. We track them through the AIAdopt-built EU AI Act Monitor and update the education modules where needed.
AI in education: more than a tool
From AI-driven assessment to adaptive learning systems, education institutions are working with AI more and more. The EU AI Act classifies systems that affect access to education or the assessment of students as high-risk. Teachers and administrators need to understand what that means and how to live up to their responsibility.
What Article 4 means in practice for your institution
- 1Every teacher and employee who works with AI systems must be demonstrably AI-literate
- 2Students and parents have a right to transparency about AI use in assessments
- 3Human oversight of AI decisions about students is required
- 4A certificate is your proof in an audit or parental complaint
Which modules suit education institutions
| Module | Audience | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| M1AI in the workplace | All employees and teachers | 25 min |
| M2Deploying AI responsibly | School leadership and board | 25 min |
| M3-ONAI and education | Teachers and education administrators | 30 min |
| M3-HRAI and recruitment & selection | HR staff | 30 min |
| M4Managing and securing AI | IT department | 25 min |
Why a certificate?
The AIAdopt certificate is valid for 12 months and shows, through the learning outcomes, what knowledge an education professional has gained. The EU AI Act requires demonstrable AI literacy among employees, not a specific certificate. But a certificate with clear learning outcomes is the simplest way to make that knowledge demonstrable.
