## Evidence

- (single_source) Article 47(1a) includes an urgency procedure exemption for law enforcement authorities without judicial authorisation
  - supports https://doi.org/10.55342/szemhungarica.2024.161.3.129
    > . In line with the Council's mandate, the compromise text preserves the derogation from conformity assessment in Article 47(1), and also the related exemption (urgency procedure) for law enforcement authorities in Article 47(1a), without the need for judicial authorisation. However, to secure this concession, it has been necessary to re-introduce in the text the wording regarding the control of the authorisation process by the Commission, as provided in points 3, 4 and 5 of Article 47, which were previously deleted in the Council's General Approach. Concerning AI systems already placed on the market or put into service, in the case of public authorities which are providers or deployers of high-risk AI systems the compromise agreement in Article 83(2) is to offer them 4 years from the entry

- (single_source) High-risk AI systems already placed on the market or put into service have a 4-year flexibility period under Article 83(2)

The study examines the EU AI Act, the first extensive legislative framework governing AI, and its response to these advancements via a risk-based methodology that categorizes AI systems and defines compliance requirements for high-risk applications, particularly in employment settings. The study integrates a legal examination of the EU AI Act with an assessment of practical applications, business methodologies, and technology-oriented trends in human resources. It utilizes official legislation, institutional reports, professional analyses, and AI tool outputs to highlight both the possible advantages-such as enhanced efficiency and strategic decision-making-and the hazards, including bias, opacity, and data misuse.
