Which employment AI uses are listed as high-risk?
Annex III covers specified systems used for recruitment, selection, decisions affecting work relationships, task allocation based on personal traits or behaviour, and monitoring or evaluating workers.
Operating sequence
- 01
Document the exact intended purpose and whether an exclusion or classification exception is claimed.
- 02
Assess instructions, input data relevance, human oversight, logs, monitoring, worker information, and impact-assessment duties.
- 03
Coordinate AI Act evidence with GDPR, employment, equality, and collective-rights requirements.
Failure modes to avoid
- Treating a vendor’s marketing category as the legal classification.
- Adding a human click without giving the reviewer competence, authority, time, and usable information.
- Ignoring changes that turn a low-risk feature into a listed employment use.
The source remains the authority.
