02

Impact group

Clarify which customers, patients, learners, workers, applicants or citizens may be affected.

03

Decision pressure

Strategic answer

HR AI requires early review because people decisions are sensitive.

HR AI can affect hiring, screening, ranking, monitoring, workforce allocation or employee development. Companies should map where AI influences people decisions and whether oversight, documentation and evidence are strong enough.

Start with the EU AI Act Diagnostic, turn findings into an implementation plan, and see how the diagnostic works as a reference app on M13.
