What the session covers
Article 4 of the AI Act in practice. What AI literacy asks of providers and deployers of AI systems, and why the assessment of which measures are adequate rests with the deployer.
From a course to a verifiable record. How European Digital Credentials document a completed training path in the EU format: issuer, learning outcomes, dates, and what they do not claim.
The Italian experience. How AIPIA issues European Digital Credentials to the professionals who complete its AI courses, with a public verification page for each credential.
Reading a credential. What a company, a public body or a school can verify online, and how the credential fits the documentation the deployer keeps under Article 4.
Questions and answers. Fifteen minutes for the questions of the audience.

Frequently asked questions
Is the event free and open to everyone?
Yes: Proving AI Literacy is a free online session open to anyone interested in AI literacy under the EU AI Act, with no membership required; registration takes a name and an email address, and the connection link is sent the day before the event to everyone who registered.
When does it take place and in which time zone?
The session takes place on Wednesday 7 October 2026 from 17:00 to 18:15 CEST (Central European Summer Time), which is 15:00 to 16:15 UTC, 16:00 to 17:15 in London and 11:00 to 12:15 in New York; the calendar file attached to the confirmation email shows the time in your own zone. The date and time on this page come from the AIPIA event registry.
Is the session held in English?
Yes, the whole session is held in English, including the slides and the question-and-answer part, because it presents the Italian experience with European Digital Credentials to an international audience of professionals, companies, public bodies and schools; this page and the emails you receive are in English as well.
Will I receive a credential for attending?
No: attending the session does not lead to a credential or an attestation of any kind, because European Digital Credentials document a completed training path with assessed learning outcomes, not the participation in a webinar; the session explains how those credentials work and how a company or a public body can read them.
What does a European Digital Credential say about Article 4 of the AI Act?
A European Digital Credential documents that a person completed a specific training path, with the issuer, the learning outcomes and the dates recorded in the European format, and it can support the documentation that a deployer keeps under Article 4; the assessment of whether the measures taken are adequate remains with the deployer.
How do I receive the connection link, and can I cancel my registration?
The connection link is sent by email the day before the event to everyone who registered, and a short reminder follows one hour before the start; every email carries a one-click link to remove your registration, and you can write to segreteria@aipia.it at any time.
Who organises the session
AIPIA, Associazione Italiana Professionisti dell'Intelligenza Artificiale, is an Italian non-profit association of AI professionals. It issues European Digital Credentials to the people who complete its AI courses and takes part in the European AI Alliance of the European Commission.
