The European Commission opened a public consultation on the guidelines that will help companies and public entities classify high-risk artificial intelligence systems. These guidelines come within the framework of the European regulation for artificial intelligence.
The consultation process specifically includes uses linked to employment and recruitment. This area was identified as particularly sensitive, given the impact these technologies can have on decisions about people.
AI-based selection and evaluation tools are being adopted by an increasing number of organizations. The Commission intends to ensure that these tools are classified and regulated appropriately.
The guidelines under consultation aim to clarify which AI systems should be considered high-risk, establishing clear criteria for companies and public entities using these technologies in the labor context.
