Last week, the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) presented the first results of its “AI Literacy Initiative.”
Increasing Awareness Around AI: But Still Too Fragmented
It’s becoming clear that more and more organizations are actively working on awareness programs around AI. However, these efforts are still too often fragmented and lack a structured approach.
Since February 2025, the law requires that employees who work with AI, from policymakers to operational staff, possess the right knowledge and skills.
Many AI consulting firms offer elements such as technical training or ethical case studies. Yet, it’s rare to see an effective, strategic plan that truly makes employees AI-literate, with attention to:
-
The context and role of employees
-
Technical, ethical, and legal understanding
-
Ongoing monitoring of knowledge levels
This is also reflected in the Dutch Data Protection Authority’s (AP) own practical guidance: AI literacy must be tailored and requires a long-term vision.
That’s Why Data & Business Legal Is the Alternative
Data & Business Legal doesn’t just provide training sessions: it offers a structured AI literacy program that continuously educates teams, with a focus on both compliance and practical application.

Now that the AI Act is being enforced and legal requirements for AI literacy are embedded in law, the time has come to invest. Choose a program that delivers both legal and practical results.
Data & Business Legal helps make your organization compliant and competent.
