According to an article from Datenschutz Notizen, artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing HR and recruitment practices, offering enhanced efficiency and precision. As organizations increasingly adopt AI tools like resume screening software and video interviewing, they must navigate stringent data protection regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and national laws. Ensuring GDPR compliance requires conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), transparent communication with candidates, robust data governance, and adherence to data minimization principles. Additionally, the upcoming European AI Act introduces new obligations, categorizing AI systems based on risk levels. Employers must address algorithmic bias, ensure human oversight, and maintain compliance with evolving regulations to protect personal data and avoid discrimination. Collaboration with Works Councils and seeking expert advice is essential for successful AI implementation in HR processes. Regular audits and adherence to regulatory guidance will help organizations stay compliant and leverage AI effectively.
