(SHRM) - HR professionals have some key takeaways on artificial intelligence policies now that the European Parliament has approved the EU AI Act and the United Nations passed its own resolution on the responsible use of AI.
The EU regulations created around AI include hefty fines for using AI as an “emotional recognition” system.
“SHRM will work with EU and global stakeholders to provide clarity to employers in the EU who seek to use AI safely and consistent with our shared values, and to understand their obligations under the act,” said Emily M. Dickens, SHRM chief of staff, head of public affairs and corporate secretary, in a statement. “Here in the United States, SHRM will continue its ongoing engagement with Congress, the administration, and state and local legislatures, serving as a trusted partner to policymakers, looking to achieve consensus on AI legislation and regulation that maximizes human potential.”
