EU AI Act for HR

The EU AI Act is a regulatory framework introduced by the European Union aimed at overseeing the development and use of artificial intelligence, with specific implications for human resources. The act classifies AI applications into categories based on risk levels, from minimal to high risk, with HR-related AI tools often falling into the high-risk category due to their impact on employment decisions. Under the EU AI Act, companies using AI for recruitment, employee evaluation, or other HR functions must adhere to strict guidelines to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability, including mandatory risk assessments, bias mitigation, and compliance reporting.
