DWG Special – AI literacy in practice: turning a legal duty into real workforce capability
About this DWG Special
With the EU AI Act’s key deadlines now pushed back to 2027, it’s easy to assume the pressure is off. It isn’t! The requirement to build AI literacy across your workforce is already in effect. Equally importantly, treating AI literacy as a compliance exercise misses the bigger opportunity. The organizations gaining a competitive advantage are those already investing in real capability: equipping their people to use AI confidently, responsibly and effectively.
This DWG Special Event has been set up to explain what the implications of the new Act are for digital workplace leaders and teams; how to assess the current state of your workforce’s AI literacy; and what it will take to build the necessary skills.
Our outline agenda for this timely DWG Special will include:
- Why now? The AI literacy moment.
- What ‘good’ looks like: the Digital Workplace AI Literacy Model.
- Building the programme: the ‘4Ls’ roadmap.
- The bigger picture: organizational readiness.
- How DWG can help.
- Live Q&A and peer discussion.
Who should attend?
- Leaders and practitioners responsible for AI adoption and enablement across the digital workplace.
Why you should attend
- A clear, research-based picture of what ‘good’ AI literacy actually looks like – beyond one-off training.
- A practical framework (the Digital Workplace AI Literacy Model) and roadmap (the 4Ls) you can apply straight away.
- Real examples of what’s working inside organizations like Vodafone, AstraZeneca and Moderna.
- A sense of where your own organization stands, plus a clear first step.
- The chance to ask questions and compare notes with peers facing the same challenges.
Open to DWG members and the wider digital workplace community.
