Does introducing an AI assistant require the works council's opinion?
If it affects a larger group of employees, yes: under section 264 of the Hungarian Labour Code the employer must request the works council's opinion at least 15 days before deciding, among other things on new technology and technical monitoring tools. Whether a specific tool falls under this is a legal question – the partner law firm gives an opinion on that.
What is the difference between a readiness assessment and a legal opinion?
The assessment gives you a gap list: what is in place, what is missing and in which order to address it. A legal opinion is about whether the situation complies with the law – only a lawyer can give that; in my case, the partner firm.
Do you work for an employer and a union at the same time?
No. At the same employer I only accept one side's engagement at a time.
Is AI literacy training mandatory already?
Article 4 of the AI Act has applied since 2 February 2025. Since the amendment of 27 July 2026, organisations must take measures tailored to the systems they use; they do not have to guarantee an individual level.
When do the strict rules for AI in HR apply?
From 2 December 2027, under the AI Act as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. Until then there is time to prepare an inventory, a gap list and an information plan.
How quickly will I receive an offer?
After the scoping call, in writing, with a fixed price or capped hours, [committed deadline, e.g. within 3 business days].
