Having published the AI Skills Needs Analysis report, we are getting ready for our next big step: the European AI Skills Strategy.
At ARISA, we aim to create solid and sustainable foundations for reducing skills shortages, gaps, and mismatches. In order to achieve it, we will develop a strategy based on the new skills requirements for people in AI-related professions.
At this stage, we are gathering quantitative and qualitative input from ARISA stakeholders in order to enrich and validate the general approach of the European AI Skills Strategy and collect pointers on implementation enablers. On this account, we prepared a survey on AI skills development, as well as ARISA’s mission and overall approach for the strategy.
Do you want to contribute to the European AI Skills Strategy? Fill in the survey by July 16, 2023.

Meeting the AI Act: Building the ecosystem of European AI literacy through cross-national policy engagement and cooperation
20 April 2026
The European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) of 2024 marks a shift from principle to practice in setting new standards for AI governance. The transition, however, from regulation to operational reality remains challenging, particularly in the case of AI literacy. Indeed, the AI Act sets expectations for a company’s staff to have a “sufficient level of AI literacy” in article 4. The term “sufficient level” is quite broad and may benefit from clearer guidance, as it can be challenging for many organisations - particularly those with limited resources, such as SMEs and start-ups - to interpret and apply effectively. During Artificial Intelligence Skills Alliance’s (ARISA) Final Conference on 26 March 2026, the panel discussion “From AI literacy to AI deployment: operationalising the AI Act across Europe” delved deeper into how policymakers may make the abstract concrete.
