Regulated profession notice
Regulated profession notice: HR and hiring work sits under employment law, anti-discrimination rules, privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, local equivalents), and internal policy. Treat AI output as drafting and review support only. Never let AI make final hiring, promotion, disciplinary, or termination decisions. Review screening, interview, and policy content for bias, fairness, and legal defensibility before sharing with candidates, employees, or managers. Keep candidate and employee data out of public AI tools unless your employer has approved the specific vendor.
