AI Act now in force: transparency, accountability, and human oversight
As of August 2, the first transparency obligations under the European AI Act have come into effect. In Met het Oog op Morgen, tech expert Bert Hubert clearly explains that organisations remain responsible for the deployment of AI – you cannot hide behind “the AI did it.” Furthermore, the use of AI in recruitment procedures must not lead to fully automated decisions without meaningful human intervention, and candidates must be informed when they are interacting with AI.
Additionally, Hubert emphasises that AI is not an autonomously acting entity, but a tool for which developers and organisations remain legally and ethically responsible. This provides an interesting and accessible explanation of what the new AI regulations mean in practice – from chatbots and AI content to recruitment and governance.
