The EU AI Act mandates transparency and accountability for AI tools used in HR processes within the EU from 2025 and introduces stricter high-risk AI governance measures by December 2027. HR teams using or deploying AI in recruitment, employee evaluation, or promotion must identify AI use, implement disclosure policies, and assign ownership to comply with upcoming regulatory requirements.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
HR leaders must act now to track AI hidden in existing tools and impose strict disclosure policies ahead of the EU’s high-risk AI rules kicking in at the end of 2027. Your contract terms and vendor relations will be critical - vendors unprepared today reveal risks for your compliance and control tomorrow.
