Pedro Antunes explains how to ensure transparency and legal compliance in the use of AI in human resources

The use of artificial intelligence in human resources processes has been gaining increasing relevance, enabling greater efficiency and speed in decision-making. However, its implementation raises legal and ethical challenges that require companies to adopt a responsible approach, based on transparency, the protection of personal data and respect for workers’ rights.

In an article for RH Magazine, Pedro Antunes, Partner in the Labour practice at CCA Law Firm, analyses the legal framework applicable to the use of AI systems in people management, with particular focus on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Portuguese Charter of Human Rights in the Digital Era, and the evolution of European regulation on artificial intelligence.

“It is essential for companies to strike a balance between innovation and legal compliance, ensuring that the application of AI is transparent and ethical.”

The article highlights that compliance with these legal requirements is crucial not only to mitigate legal and regulatory risks, but also to strengthen employee trust and promote an organisational culture grounded in responsibility and fairness.
