Is your AI ready for August 2, 2026?
The EU AI Act is no longer a distant regulation. It contains mandatory deadlines for every organization using automated recruitment, ranking, and scoring tools.
The €35M Multiplier
Prohibited practices (like certain emotion recognition in the workplace) trigger fines up to €35 Million or 7% of global annual turnover.
The High-Risk Fine
HR tools for recruitment and evaluation are classified under Annex III. Fail to meet compliance, and you face up to €15 Million or 3% of turnover.
