Before you open ChatGPT the next time, pause for a moment. AI has settled into the recruiter's toolkit, but its use comes with risks you can't afford to ignore.
When used responsibly, AI is a recruiter's best assistant. Used carelessly, or unknowingly, it can lead to discriminatory practices, the loss of human-centric hiring, and even data protection breaches. And the EU AI Act, which fully applies from late 2027, raises the stakes further.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to avoid the risks and apply AI safely and effectively in your hiring process. We'll cover data security, the AI platforms and tools recruiters are using day-to-day, and the risks that come with them.
Responsibility shows up in every company's values. In practice, it's a set of everyday choices, and few roles in an organization carry as much weight in that respect as HR and recruitment.
Applied well, AI can help your team speed up the process, improve the candidate experience, and run more consistent, fair hiring across the board.
What we'll cover in 45 minutes

- Which AI applications should recruiters avoid?
- AI, GDPR, and the EU AI Act: what HR and recruitment teams need to know.
- How to apply AI responsibly across the different parts of the hiring process.
- Q&A
The deadlines moved, but the EU AI Act is coming
On May 7, 2026, the Council and Parliament agreed to push the high-risk obligations under Annex III (the section of the AI Act that covers employment systems) from August 2026 to December 2027. Good news, but not an excuse to wait.
A lot of the AI Act is already in force. AI literacy obligations took effect in February 2025. Biometric and emotion-recognition tools are prohibited in workplaces. Finland has given its market surveillance authority full enforcement powers, and other member states are following. Fines run up to €15 million or 3% of global turnover for deployer obligations, and €35 million or 7% for prohibited practices. Regulators can also pull a non-compliant AI tool off the market mid-contract.
Starting the work now means fewer surprises when the rules tighten in 2027.
