Anna Carlsson explains how the EU's updated AI Act guidance, the rapid rise in shadow AI, and the upcoming Pay Transparency deadline all point to the same core HR data challenge: a lack of clean, documented role, level and pay criteria.

The episode covers practical next steps: map your AI tools against the Annex III high-risk categories, build a role-and-level structure, set up AI oversight and traceability, and use the extra time to get ahead instead of just delaying the work.
