Short answer
Workplace AI assessment enquiries should identify the tool, controller or employer, privacy notice, automated or human decision steps, data used, DPIA or policy records, explanation request, objection, impact and ICO complaint stage. Legal4U cannot decide whether a system is lawful or whether compensation is available.
