UK Government Publishes Guidance On Responsible Artificial Intelligence In Human Resources And Recruitment

DSIT has outlined key considerations to be considered by organisations seeking to procure and deploy AI in the recruitment lifecycle

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) has released guidance to assist organisations that use artificial intelligence (AI) in recruitment to ensure that they are adhering to the UK government's AI "high level principles" for the regulation of AI.

The government, per its AI white paper of March 2023 and consultation response of February 2024, will not be introducing new regulation on AI as it stands. Instead, existing UK regulators will apply their existing powers within their respective jurisdictions guided by the "high-level principles".
