EU AI Act
The EU AI Act is the European regulation that classifies AI systems by risk and attaches obligations to each class. AI used for recruitment and candidate selection sits in the high-risk category, which brings requirements around oversight, transparency and record keeping. Its deadlines have shifted more than once, so plan around the capability rather than the date.
