Employment AI — Transparency and Disclosure
Article 11 requires employers and principals to inform workers of workplace AI use in the cases and modalities of Article 1-bis of Legislative Decree 152/1997. That incorporated provision covers fully automated decision or monitoring systems producing indications relevant to specified employment decisions and conditions. Article 4(4) separately ties under-14 access to AI technologies and consequent personal-data processing to parental-responsibility consent.
Penalties qualification: This entry does not assign a provision-specific penalty to Article 11. Applicable consequences depend on the incorporated employment-law duties and the competent national and EU enforcement frameworks.
