From the first use of AI to transparent human accountability.

THE SPECIFIC OCCASION

Quick decisions require a thorough second review.

AI can generate texts, plans, proposals, and phrasing in a short amount of time. However, whether the output is appropriate from a technical standpoint depends on the specific product, work, and organizational context.

Persuasive language is no guarantee of accuracy. Incorrect product information, inappropriate work instructions, distorted personnel texts, or fabricated connections can arise if no one checks the purpose, source, plausibility, and consequences.

The course therefore does not focus on any single software program. It establishes a common foundation for the responsible use of AI: contextualizing applications, identifying risks, reviewing results, making decisions, and documenting the workflow in a transparent manner.

WHO THIS COURSE IS DESIGNED FOR

A common foundation for different roles.

The focus is on organizations that already use AI for text processing, planning, communication, quality assurance, or education. The specific implementation is tailored to the target audience, the task at hand, and the organizational context.

Business Owners and Executives

Clarify roles, establish a common understanding, and organize responsibility for the use of AI in the workplace in a transparent manner.

Sales and Marketing

Align texts, offers, and communications with the actual product information and the specific customer context.

Organization and Quality Management

Identify plans, SOPs, and instructions as AI-generated drafts and review them for technical and operational accuracy before use.

Education and Continuing Education

Clearly explain responsible use and take into account the participants’ varying levels of knowledge.

AI LITERACY IN THE WORKPLACE

Understand what your role requires.

Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 defines AI competence in terms of knowledge, experience, training, and the operational context of an AI system.

In a business context, this means that not everyone needs IT training. What matters is which tasks are supported by AI, what risks may arise in the process, and who is responsible for the use of the results.

PRACTICE AND RESPONSIBILITY NAVIGATOR

Four steps make the commute to work visible.

Select a step. The corresponding responsibility will be highlighted in all practical examples. All content remains visible at the same time.

Clarify the purpose and identify where AI can assist with a design, an analysis, or a formulation.

Product and Communication

Application: Product descriptions, offers, social media posts, and other statements regarding characteristics, ingredients, allergens, or origin.
Cross-check: Which statement is supported by the actual product information, and which one needs to be corrected or rejected?
Decision: The person in charge accepts, corrects, or rejects the result and explains why it is appropriate in the specific context.
Transfer: Participants practice distinguishing linguistically plausible AI outputs from statements that are factually sound.

Human Resources and Leadership

Application: Job postings, references, and other HR-related documents that may give rise to one-sided assumptions or risks of discrimination.
Cross-check: What assumptions underlie the draft, and who is responsible for reviewing it in the specific context of human resources and organizational structure?
Decision: The person in charge accepts, corrects, or rejects the result and explains why it is appropriate in the specific context.
Transfer: Participants will understand why a fluent text does not replace the relevant exam.

Organization and Quality

Application: Cleaning schedules, SOPs, operating instructions, and organizational proposals directly related to actual processes.
Cross-check: Does the proposal actually align with the product, the business, the areas of responsibility, and applicable internal guidelines?
Decision: The person in charge accepts, corrects, or rejects the result and explains why it is appropriate in the specific context.
Transfer: Participants structure the cross-check before the content is incorporated into operational processes.

Plausible, but wrong

Application: Answers that sound convincing but make up information, oversimplify relationships, or overlook technical limitations.
Cross-check: What sources, expertise, or key individuals are needed to make a sound decision?
Decision: The person in charge accepts, corrects, or rejects the result and explains why it is appropriate in the specific context.
Transfer: Participants classify hallucinations, biases, and misinterpretations using a clear, step-by-step process.

SCHEDULE OF THE SIX IN-PERSON CLASSES

From a basic understanding to one's own work context.

The six subject areas form the core curriculum. Within the B2B framework, their weighting is tailored to roles, knowledge levels, and specific tasks. The result is not rigid tool training, but a clear and understandable workflow.

01
Basic Understanding
What AI is, what it can do, and where linguistically convincing outputs should not be confused with technical accuracy.
02
AI Literacy and Contextualization
The scope and relevance of the AI Act with regard to Article 4, as well as the importance of knowledge, experience, training, and operational context.
03
Roles and Responsibilities
Who uses AI, who reviews the output, and who decides how it will be used in each specific business task?
04
Typical Applications
Real-world scenarios from the trades, the food industry, communication, organization, quality, and education.
05
Risks and Cross-Check
Identify and professionally evaluate hallucinations, biases, misinterpretations, and aspects relevant to accountability.
06
Documentation and Transfer
Document the use of AI, cross-checking, and human decision-making in a way that ensures the workflow within the company remains traceable.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BRING

Not just AI. But better decisions with AI.

The course establishes a common language for implementation, auditing, and accountability. The specific B2B framework determines which records and forms of documentation are appropriate for the business.

01
A clear decision-making process rather than simply using a tool
02
Ability to distinguish between hallucinations, biases, and misinterpretations
03
Greater reliability when reviewing texts, plans, and standards
04
A Clear Framework for Roles, Cross-Checks, and Accountability
05
Starting Points for Internal Documentation in Your Own Work Context

B2B IMPLEMENTATION

The context of use determines the design.

The course is arranged in collaboration with companies, organizations, or educational partners. It can be held on-site at the company or at a suitable regional location.

During the preliminary discussion, we will clarify the target audience, roles, current level of knowledge, real-world application scenarios, documentation, and organizational framework. The request is intended for organizations and will be discussed in a manner appropriate to the specific in-person format.

Participation can be documented within the agreed-upon framework. It does not constitute certification and does not replace the advanced AIQ qualification.
