- What should I look out for with AI in occupational health & absence management?
- Occupational health and absence data are health data and fall under medical confidentiality. The employer must not see a diagnosis, not even through an AI summary: keep medical and non-medical information strictly separated. Never use a free chatbot for consultations or case files. Sign a data processing agreement (DPA), require processing within the EU, no training on your data, and NEN 7510/ISO 27001, and ask which language models and sub-processors sit behind the service. Ask the employee for consent before any recording. Do not let AI independently assess an individual employee's fitness for work or absence risk: AI systems that influence decisions about employees can be high-risk under the EU AI Act.
