Empowrd AI – Transparency Statement

Last Updated: 12 August 2025

This AI Transparency Statement explains how Empowrd AI uses artificial intelligence (AI) within our products and services. It is designed to meet the requirements of:

  • EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act)
  • UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018
  • UAE Federal Data Protection Law
  • Other applicable AI and data protection regulations worldwide

Our aim is to give you clear, accessible, and practical information about:

  • Where and when AI is used in our services
  • How AI interacts with human decision-making
  • The data used by our AI systems
  • The safeguards we use to ensure responsible AI

1. How We Use AI

Empowrd AI uses AI systems to:

  • Provide data-driven insights and recommendations
  • Assist in HR analytics, recruitment matching, and workforce planning
  • Automate repetitive administrative processes
  • Enhance user experience with personalised features
  • Analyse large datasets to support business decision-making

2. Human Oversight

We do not rely solely on AI to make final decisions with legal or significant effects on individuals. Where AI supports decision-making:

  • Humans remain in control and review AI-assisted outputs
  • No final decision is made without human judgment for high-impact scenarios
  • We document oversight procedures for audit purposes

3. Our AI Systems Process

Our AI may process:

  • Information you provide directly (e.g., Business documents, profile details, queries)
  • Usage data from interactions with our platform
  • Anonymised or pseudonymised datasets for training and testing
  • Licensed third-party data sources

We minimise the use of personal data in model development and do not sell personal data to third parties.

4. AI Decision-Making & Limitations

AI models can analyse data, identify patterns, and produce recommendations. However:

  • Outputs are influenced by the data used to train them
  • Models may reflect biases in historical data
  • AI recommendations require human interpretation and validation

We regularly test and monitor our AI for:

  • Accuracy and reliability
  • Bias and fairness issues
  • Security vulnerabilities

5. Your Rights When AI Is Used

If AI is used in a process that affects you, you have the right to:

  • Be informed that AI was used
  • Request an explanation of how AI contributed to a decision
  • Request human review of an AI-assisted decision
  • Contest outcomes based on AI processing

7. High-Risk AI Systems

Where our AI is classified as “high-risk” under the EU AI Act (e.g., recruitment screening tools):

  • We conduct AI Risk Assessments and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
  • We implement bias detection and mitigation measures
  • We maintain detailed technical documentation of the system’s functioning
  • We apply continuous monitoring and periodic re-evaluation of performance
