As the EU AI Act takes effect in stages alongside Poland’s new artificial intelligence legislation, organizations must adapt their HR processes and compliance strategies for 2026 and 2027. <\/p>\n
The AI Act refers to Regulation (EU) 2024\/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council, establishing harmonized rules on artificial intelligence. Its goal is to improve the internal market’s functioning by creating a uniform legal framework that promotes human-centric and trustworthy AI while protecting fundamental rights, democracy, the rule of law, and the environment.<\/p>\n
On July 24, 2026, the President of Poland signed the Act of July 3, 2026, on artificial intelligence systems, published in the Journal of Laws as item 1003.<\/p>\n
The AI Act is already in force, but its provisions apply gradually. Obligations concerning AI transparency, competence requirements, general-purpose AI models, and regulatory oversight took effect starting August 2, 2026, with specific content-labeling grace periods extended under the AI Omnibus package.<\/p>\n
The implementation timeline for high-risk AI systems has been adjusted, pushing obligations for systems listed in Annex III to December 2, 2027, and for high-risk AI embedded in regulated products to August 2, 2028.<\/p>\n
Starting August 2, 2026, providers of deepfakes and generative content must ensure materials are machine-readable and clearly labeled as AI-generated or modified. Furthermore, users interacting with AI systems such as chatbots and virtual assistants must be explicitly informed that they are communicating with a machine.<\/p>\n
The newly established AI Development and Security Commission in Poland will handle user complaints regarding faulty or discriminatory algorithms, issue individual opinions for businesses, and order the withdrawal of hazardous systems from the market.<\/p>\n
HR and recruitment systems\u2014such as automated CV filtering and candidate assessment tools\u2014are classified as high-risk under the AI Act, with full compliance required by December 2, 2027. Employers must ensure data protection compliance alongside robust human oversight.<\/p>\n
Organizations utilizing high-risk AI in the workplace must inform employees and their representatives beforehand. While AI can support recruitment analytics, final decisions must remain under human control, with violations subject to penalties of up to 15 million euros or 3 percent of global annual turnover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
