EU AI Act

The European Union's law regulating AI by level of risk: some uses are banned outright, high-risk uses (such as in hiring, credit or critical infrastructure) face strict requirements, and others mainly need transparency. Its obligations are coming in stages over several years.

A plain-English explanation of how this usually works, not legal advice. Rules differ between countries and change over time, so check your own situation. Disclaimer.

You'll hear it as

If the hiring tool is used in the EU, the AI Act treats it as high risk.

Why it matters to you.

It applies to UK companies whose AI systems are used in the EU, not just EU companies.
