## 1. Statutory Notice to Employees
Pursuant to **Article 4 of the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act)**:

> *"Providers and deployers of AI systems shall take measures to ensure, to their best extent, that their staff and other persons dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf have a sufficient level of AI literacy, taking into account their technical knowledge, experience, education and training and the context the AI systems are to be used in, and considering the persons or groups of persons on whom the AI systems are to be used."*

## 2. Core Operational Principles

1. **Awareness of Capabilities and Limitations**:
   - Generative AI models can generate plausible but inaccurate statements ("hallucinations").
   - AI outputs must never be relied upon without critical human verification.

2. **Mitigating Bias and Unfair Outcomes**:
   - Personnel involved in hiring, performance assessment, credit evaluation, or pricing must never delegate consequential decisions exclusively to an AI algorithm.

3. **Preventing Data Leaks**:
   - Prompts submitted to cloud AI models may be logged or inspected if using consumer accounts. Only use company-approved channels with zero data training.

4. **Incident Escalation**:
   - If an AI system produces harmful, discriminatory, or unauthorized outputs, report it immediately to [Compliance Contact / Security Officer: email@company.eu].
