Specifically: if a company uses AI to identify candidates for dismissal, that decision cannot be made by the algorithm alone. A human must review the recommendation and make the final call. This is not optional – it becomes legally binding in December 2027.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rule aims to ensure that affected employees are not victims of algorithmic errors and that companies retain responsibility for their decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Documentation Becomes a Compliance Hurdle\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>The new deadlines are only half the story. Companies must not only adapt their systems but also thoroughly document how they work and how human oversight is implemented. These \u003Cstrong>documentation requirements\u003C\u002Fstrong> are often underestimated and can lead to significant legal consequences if not met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Companies using AI systems must be able to prove: What data feeds in? How does the system make decisions? Where does the human intervene? How is fairness ensured?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>What This Means for German Companies\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>German employers using AI for personnel decisions – whether for recruiting, performance reviews, or dismissals – should act now. The December 2027 deadline is closer than it seems. Those without a compliance strategy should develop one: Which AI systems are in use? Are they classified as high-risk? How is human oversight implemented? What documentation is still missing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this regulation, the EU is sending a clear signal: AI in the workplace is no longer experimental territory – it is regulated terrain.
