The AI Act literacy obligation, the roles a small company actually needs and the funds that pay for training. Who trains whom, and with whose money.
AI training became an obligation before it became a good idea: the AI Act requires that people using these tools understand what they are using. The obligation is also an opportunity, because in Italy training is one of the few line items someone else pays for, between sector funds and regional grants.
Here you will find who needs training and on what, the roles a small company actually needs (a data scientist is not one of them), how to defuse the fear of being replaced, and the funds that cover the cost. Schools included, since they have a path and a starting point of their own.

The AI Act requires an adequate level of AI literacy for people using AI on the company's behalf. It is not a degree: it is knowing what the tool does, what must not go into it, and who to flag a problem to.
Whoever uses the tools, whoever decides which tools come in, and whoever answers for the data. In practice almost everyone, at different depths: one thing for the owner, another for someone handling personal data daily.
Often not the company in full: sector funds finance employee training and regions publish dedicated calls. They have to be checked against the date, because they open and close.
