Workera adds AI disclosures across assessments as EU transparency rules take effect

Workera says it has added notices explaining AI use across its platform, including before assessments and during interactions with its AI agent. The change puts disclosure in front of people being assessed, as well as the administrators using the system, while EU transparency rules are now in effect.

What happened

Workera says users now see and acknowledge an AI notice before starting, with further explanations in administrator and participant onboarding and during conversations with its AI agent. Notices also cover hiring and pre-hire assessments, proctored evaluations and learning experiences.

The company says the changes do not alter how its AI works or how assessments are scored. Its account of the changes and the rules says Article 50 of the EU AI Act’s transparency requirements have applied since 2 August 2026. It also says machine-readable marking requirements apply from 2 December 2026 to generative systems already on the market before 2 August, while high-risk AI obligations, including for hiring and performance evaluation, are due on 2 December 2027.

Why it matters

For someone taking an AI-supported skills assessment, disclosure is not just a line in a privacy policy. Knowing AI is involved before an assessment starts can help people understand the process and question how its results are used. Workera’s changes give readers concrete places to look for that information: before an assessment, during onboarding and in the interaction itself.

The company describes its implementation and summarises the law; organisations should check the rules that apply to their own systems and seek legal advice where needed. Workera says it plans to continue assessing its obligations around machine-readable marking.

Our read

Putting the notice where people encounter the AI is a more useful move than asking them to excavate it from a policy page. For employers, the practical check is simple: try the assessment as a candidate, not just as an administrator, and see whether the disclosure arrives before the consequential bit.

What to watch

• Whether Workera adds machine-readable marking where required.
• How other assessment providers disclose AI use to candidates and employees.
• Whether organisations explain how assessment results inform hiring or development decisions.

Discussion spark: Should AI disclosure for hiring assessments have to explain how a result may affect a candidate, or is a clear notice that AI is involved enough?
