Is there a risk of receiving a warning letter if you do not provide training in accordance with the AI Regulation?

Many companies are currently asking themselves:

Am I at risk of receiving a warning if I have not yet trained my staff who use AI?

The short answer: Not at the moment.

There is currently no designated regulatory authority for the AI Regulation. This is expected to be designated in August 2025 – most likely the Federal Network Agency. Sanctions are not expected until August 2026 at the earliest.

However, the training requirement already applies – and for good reason.

The training requirement is more than just a legal obligation. It is a key component of sustainable innovation and the safe use of AI systems.

Well-trained staff:

  • understand the potential of AI and apply it in a targeted manner

  • improve efficiency in day-to-day work

  • reduce risks – particularly when handling sensitive data or automated decision-making processes

In addition to the training requirement, the Regulation sets out further requirements:

  • Documentation: The use of AI and the corresponding training measures must be documented in a way that allows for proper traceability.

  • Risk classification: Organisations must analyse and classify the AI systems they use.

  • Transparency requirement: AI-generated content must be clearly labelled.

  • Reporting obligations: In the event of serious incidents or data protection issues, there is an obligation to report these to the supervisory authority.

Our tip: Prepare now, rather than reacting later

Companies that address the AI Regulation at an early stage benefit in two ways:
They avoid having to deal with time-pressured tasks later on – whilst simultaneously strengthening their innovative capacity and competitiveness.

My personal view:

AI agents will become increasingly prevalent in the coming years. Not only as personal assistants, but also as systems that:

  • search for information

  • analyse documents

  • automate processes

  • create content

  • analyse websites

  • Preparing decisions 

And that is precisely why it is becoming increasingly important to process information in such a way that it is understandable not only to people, but also to machines.

All content has been compiled to the best of our knowledge and belief. However, it does not constitute legal advice. For specific legal queries, we recommend consulting a specialist solicitor.
