Overview:

Artificial Intelligence is becoming an integral part of modern HR, from recruitment and performance management to employee engagement and analytics. But with innovation comes regulation. The EU AI Act introduces clear rules and risk classifications for AI systems, especially those used in HR, where the impact on people’s rights and opportunities is significant.

In this webinar, you will learn how to use AI safely and responsibly in HR, in compliance with the EU AI Act. We will explore how HR tools are classified under the new law, and how to prepare your organisation for compliant, trustworthy AI use in the workplace.

Why you should Attend:

The EU AI Act is not just another regulation. It’s a game-changer for any organisation using AI in HR. AI systems that influence hiring, promotion, evaluation, or dismissal decisions are classified as high-risk under the Act.

Non-compliance can lead to severe penalties and reputational damage. HR leaders must therefore understand:

  • How to identify which tools fall under the EU AI Act
  • What obligations apply
  • How to implement AI ethically and transparently

This webinar will help you navigate the legal and practical implications - ensuring your HR function uses AI both effectively and responsibly.

Areas Covered in the Session:

  • Overview of the EU AI Act: Structure, principles, and timeline
  • AI Risk Categories: From minimal risk and high risk to prohibited AI practices, and what each means for HR
  • How to Assess Your HR Tools: Identifying and classifying AI systems used in recruitment, learning, and performance management
  • Practical Steps for Compliance:
    • Documentation and transparency requirements
    • Human oversight and accountability
    • Data quality and bias management
  • Examples from Practice: How organisations are preparing for AI compliance in HR

Who Will Benefit:

  • Recruiters and Learning & Development Professionals
  • HR Leaders and Managers
  • HR Tech Providers and Vendors
  • Executives and People Leaders
