01We only buy AI tools. Does the EU AI Act still affect us?
Usually yes: an organisation in the EU that uses an AI system under its own authority for professional purposes is a deployer under Article 3 of the EU AI Act, unless one of the regulation's exclusions applies. Which obligations follow depends on the system's risk class, and the tecnovy EU AI Act training has you practise exactly that classification on case examples.
02When do the obligations of the EU AI Act apply?
As of November 2026, the prohibitions in Article 5 have applied since 2 February 2025, and two added in 2026 apply from 2 December 2026. The transparency obligations in Article 50 have applied since 2 August 2026; providers of generative systems already on the market before then have until 2 December 2026 to meet the marking duty in Article 50(2). The obligations for high-risk AI systems apply from 2 December 2027 for use areas such as employment in Annex III and from 2 August 2028 for AI in regulated products in Annex I, and the tecnovy EU AI Act training works with exactly this state of the law.
03Does the EU AI Act training cover the AI literacy duty in Article 4?
That is your organisation's decision: since its replacement on 27 July 2026, Article 4 requires providers and deployers to take measures that support the AI literacy of their staff and of others who operate or use AI systems on their behalf, without guaranteeing any particular level for any individual. The tecnovy EU AI Act training can be one such measure; which measures to take and what to record about them is for the organisation to decide.
04What fines does the EU AI Act provide for?
As of November 2026, fines reach up to EUR 35 million or 7 % of worldwide annual turnover for prohibited practices, up to EUR 15 million or 3 % for certain obligations such as those of providers, deployers and under Article 50, and up to EUR 7.5 million or 1 % for incorrect information to authorities, whichever is higher in each case. For SMEs the lower amount applies, and for small mid-cap enterprises the same holds for the two lower tiers. Member States lay down the detailed penalty rules; in the tecnovy EU AI Act training you match infringements to these tiers.
05Which authority supervises the EU AI Act in Germany?
In Germany, the AI Market Surveillance and Innovation Promotion Act (KI-MIG), in force since 29 July 2026, makes the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency) the market surveillance authority unless that law provides otherwise. BaFin, the federal financial supervisor, is responsible for AI directly linked to regulated financial services at firms it supervises, and Länder authorities cover public bodies of the Länder and certain media. The tecnovy EU AI Act training covers these responsibilities for Germany.
06Does the EU AI Act training replace legal advice?
No, the tecnovy EU AI Act training shows you how to place requirements so that you can work with your legal advisers in a focused way. How a system is classified and which measures follow is your organisation's decision, and its legal counsel advises on it.
07How far does the EU AI Act training go into technical implementation?
The tecnovy EU AI Act training derives obligations such as risk management, documentation and human oversight for high-risk systems and assigns them. How those obligations are implemented technically in systems is not part of the training.
08Does the EU AI Act training end with an exam?
No, the tecnovy EU AI Act training has no exam; with at least 80 % attendance you receive the tecnovy certificate of participation. It documents your attendance, not a certification.
09How does the EU AI Act training differ from the AIGP training?
The tecnovy EU AI Act training stays with the EU AI Act and putting it into practice in your organisation, and ends without an exam. The tecnovy AIGP training reaches further, into privacy law, the NIST AI RMF and ISO standards, and prepares you for the IAPP's AIGP exam, whose fee is charged separately.
