Tom Fox and Jonathan Armstrong, renowned experts in cyber security, co-host the award-winning Life with GDPR. In this episode, they discuss the complex intersection of AI and recruitment, focusing on compliance challenges under GDPR and potential risks.
Jonathan highlights that AI is often more prevalent in recruitment processes than many compliance officers realise, often through third-party vendors. He discusses the regulatory landscape in the UK and EU, sharing insights on recent cases related to automated decision-making and the transparency required for such systems.
Jonathan offers a seven-point plan for organisations that use or are considering using AI in recruitment, covering provider selection, due diligence, transparency obligations, and mechanisms for handling data subject requests. The conversation underscores the need for proactive engagement between data protection officers, compliance teams and recruiters to ensure that AI tools are used responsibly and transparently.
