SAIG Awareness Badge.
The SAIG Awareness Badge confirms that someone has completed an accredited AI literacy training. It is a certificate of participation that supports awareness and helps organisations build their initial Article 4 documentation — but it is not a personal certificate.
What the Awareness Badge shows.
The holder has been acquainted with the basic principles of responsible AI use. Specifically:
- Has completed an accredited awareness training on AI literacy
- Knows the main risks of generative AI in broad terms
- Understands why verification, privacy and human oversight matter
- Knows when and to whom to escalate within the organisation
What the badge does not show.
This distinction must always be maintained. No employer may treat an Awareness Badge as certification.
- No formal assessment of individual competences
- No proof of proficiency in applying AI
- Not a personal certificate in line with international certification practices
- Not a replacement for SAIG-Basis, -Practitioner or -Advanced where those are appropriate
Important. The Awareness Badge is a certificate of participation, not a personal certificate. Demonstrable proficiency requires at least SAIG-Basis.
Who is the Awareness Badge for?
- Broad groups of employees who occasionally come into contact with AI
- Organisations that want to establish a first, broad layer of awareness
- Employees who can later progress to SAIG-Basis
