Several jurisdictions around the world start to regulate the use of Artificial Intelligence, with the European Union taking the lead with the most comprehensive set of rules to be adopted. As the HR services industry monitors the finalisation of the EU AI act, the World Employment Confederation is becoming increasingly concerned that misguided and possibly harmful regulation will not only slow innovative development but also close the door to the possibilities that AI holds for workers and employers. A balanced approach to AI in the workplace is needed. For the HR services industry, this entails the respect of ten principles, outlined in the Code of ethical principles in the use of Artificial Intelligence adopted by the World Employment Confederation in 2023.

A strong knowledge base is fundamental to support our advocacy activities and ensure sound regulatory frameworks. The World Employment Confederation helps members to better collect and organise knowledge, in particular data.
