AI chat in recruitment and selection: what the applicant must be told

A recruiter deploys an AI chat that puts candidates through a first screening conversation after they respond to a job posting, and adds their answers to their CV. The chat introduces itself with a first name and writes in a casual conversational tone. The question is whether these applicants reasonably realise that they are talking to an AI system.

What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

What this object states

Official fact

Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.

Article 50(1) requires providers to ensure that AI systems intended to interact directly with natural persons are designed and developed in such a way that the natural persons concerned are informed that they are interacting with an AI system, unless this is obvious from the point of view of a natural person who is reasonably well-informed, observant and circumspect, taking into account the circumstances and the context of use. Article 50(5) provides that this information must be given to the natural persons concerned in a clear and distinguishable manner at the latest at the time of the first interaction, and must conform to the applicable accessibility requirements.

Our interpretation

Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.

We read the obviousness test as a question about the audience the system actually meets, and in recruitment and selection that audience is not a trained professional group but a broad set of applicants under pressure who do not yet know the organisation. A human first name and a casual tone push that assessment the wrong way in our view, however well they convert. If you buy the chat rather than build it, Article 50(1) is by its wording addressed to the provider, while you are the one choosing the persona and the entry point; whether putting your own name on such a chat moves you into the provider role is a question Article 50 does not answer. So make the disclosure in the first message a procurement requirement and verify at delivery that it is genuinely there.
