The HR Leader's Guide to AI

Under the EU AI Act, almost every meaningful use of AI on candidates and employees is classed as high-risk, and a few uses are banned outright. The duties land on the organization that uses the system rather than the vendor that built it, and every major AI vendor's contract is written to keep it that way. This guide rates every AI use an HR team is likely to meet, from CV screening and interview scoring to performance evaluation and workforce monitoring, and says plainly which are safe, which need controls, and which are forbidden.

It is written in plain language for HR leaders rather than lawyers, and it assumes you should be using AI. It works through the two ways AI actually arrives in HR, inside the suite you already licensed and inside the assistant your team already opens, and shows what each means legally. It covers what has happened to organizations that got this wrong, what their cases cost and what they were made to change, and it ends with an operating loop, a first ninety days, and the questions to send your vendors this week.
