The European Union is actively expanding its AI literacy repository as part of implementing the AI Act’s Article 4 requirements. This initiative represents a significant step in the EU’s broader strategy to promote responsible AI development and deployment across the continent, providing organizations with practical examples and resources to enhance AI literacy among professionals and the public alike.
The big picture: The EU AI Office has launched a new survey to expand its living repository of AI literacy practices, building upon initial contributions from AI Pact organizations.
- The repository currently contains more than 20 practices and aims to encourage learning and knowledge exchange among AI system providers and deployers.
- This initiative directly supports the implementation of Article 4 of the AI Act, which recently entered into application.
How it works: Organizations can submit their AI literacy initiatives through the survey, with submissions regularly reviewed before acceptance into the public repository.
- The AI Office will verify that all contributions meet minimum standards of transparency and reliability.
- During verification periods, the survey may temporarily close to allow for proper assessment of submissions.
Important context: The repository is part of a larger effort by the EU AI Office to promote AI literacy and skills development across Europe.
- Publication in the repository does not automatically grant presumption of compliance with Article 4 of the AI Act.
- The Commission explicitly notes that inclusion does not imply endorsement or evaluation of the practices.
What’s next: A dedicated website focused on AI literacy and skills development will soon be launched to further support implementation efforts.
- This website will complement existing resources like the AI Pact Events webpage.
- The living repository model allows for continuous addition of new practices as the AI landscape evolves.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment
The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
