Does the EU AI Act even apply to us?

In many cases yes. It also affects Swiss organisations as soon as they use AI or operate in the EU market. Depending on the application, documentation, transparency and competence duties apply; employees must receive training. The stocktake clarifies exactly how you are affected.

Is a template from the internet enough as an AI policy?

As a starting point perhaps, as a lived policy no. A policy only works when it fits your data, your industry and your tools and is understandable in daily work. That is exactly the work here.

What does the training duty mean for us?

The EU AI Act requires employees to have sufficient AI competence. The role-based training fulfils this duty and is at the same time the practical part: afterwards your team knows how to use AI safely.

What experience is behind the training?

Workshops and keynotes on AI for Swiss organisations: at the CH Open Source AI Conference, the Swiss AI Conference and as a SWICO keynote. Teaching from practice, not from slides.

Services · Governance

AI Governance & Training.

AI in a company only works when the team uses it and knows what for. This service gives your organisation a lived frame: an AI usage policy that opens paths instead of closing them, documented AI Act readiness and training that lets your team use AI safely.

When governance makes the difference

Shadow AI needs an official path

AI is used in-house, but without a clear frame. The policy turns quiet practice into a managed one. Shadow AI is not the problem; it is the signal.

Documenting AI Act duties properly

Documentation, transparency and competence duties can be built elegantly into the architecture path: considered early, they are not a burden but a relief.

The team should use AI safely and productively

The AI Act requires sufficient AI competence among employees. The training fulfils this duty and is at the same time the lever that turns AI into value for your team.

What you get

AI usage policy

A policy tailored to your organisation: what is allowed with which data, in a form that is lived rather than filed away.

AI Act readiness dossier

Risk classification of your AI applications, the necessary evidence and documentation, provable towards supervision and audit.

Role-based training

Training for management, business units and IT: on your own context, not on toy examples. Fulfils the AI Act competence duty.

AI officer (on request)

Setting up the role and supporting its first steps, if you establish a responsible position for AI.

The process

01

Taking stock

Which AI is in use, which duties apply, where the organisation stands: the basis for policy and training.
02

Policy & dossier

The AI usage policy and the AI Act readiness dossier are drafted and aligned with you.
03

Training & anchoring

Role-based training of employees and the hand-over, so governance is lived.

Price & scope

from CHF 3’000

Policy, readiness dossier and training are agreed individually or as a package, depending on scope. Half-day training formats pro rata.

What follows from it

You can prove the responsible use of AI: towards supervision, management and employees. Governance is not a project closure but a standing task; on request, Souverana supports it on an ongoing basis.
