At Studio 1 Works, Inc. ("Taluate"), artificial intelligence is a tool to assist humans—not replace them. Our competency‑assessment platform uses AI exclusively to generate optional suggestions that help candidates, referees, and recruiters express feedback more clearly. We do not use AI for automated scoring or hiring decisions.


1. Guiding Principles

  1. Human Autonomy – Every AI suggestion requires human review, edit, and explicit save before it enters a report. No auto‑publish.
  2. Fairness & Non‑Discrimination – Prompts and model outputs are filtered through bias‑reduction rules and Prompt Security. We do not request or process sensitive attributes (race, health, religion, etc.).
  3. Transparency – The “✨AI‑assist” icon appears next to any field where suggestions are available, and a tooltip explains that a large‑language model is involved.
  4. Privacy by Design – Only the competency‑comment text required to generate a suggestion is sent; full CVs or other free‑form content are never transmitted. OpenAI’s API contractually excludes our data from model training and retains it for no more than 30 days for abuse monitoring. Before dispatch, each prompt is run through Prompt Security to strip bias and personal identifiers.
  5. Accountability – Logs of prompts and responses are retained for security auditing and can be surfaced in Data Subject Access Requests. A human reviewer can override or delete any AI output.


2. Model & Provider Details

3. EU AI Act Alignment

      • Classified as High‑Risk under Annex III (§4 – Employment).
      • Completed preliminary risk‑management file; full conformity assessment planned before the AI Act’s 2026 enforcement date.
      • Will register the system in the EU High‑Risk AI Database and publish the risk‑management summary.


4. Opt‑Out & Feedback

      • Recruiters and account Administrators can disable AI suggestions per workspace.
      • End‑users can flag problematic outputs via the “Report AI Issue” link next to each suggestion. Reports are reviewed within 72 hours.


5. Governance

      • Quarterly AI ethics review meeting with Engineering, Product, and Privacy teams.
