Limitations and risks

Bias inheritance, stale data, privacy obligations and over-automation of people decisions. Keep humans accountable for outcomes that affect careers.

What implementation requires

Start narrow, define evaluation criteria, involve legal/HR governance early, and measure adoption plus quality — not only model accuracy.
