EU Regulatory Compliance Module for Independent AI Audit Software

Company: HumaniCore Ai, LLC

Major(s):
Primary: CMPSC
Secondary: IE

Non-Disclosure Agreement: YES

Intellectual Property: YES

HumaniCore AI provides independent third-party certification of AI enabled people decisions across the full employment lifecycle, covering both the vendors that build AI enabled people decision tools and the enterprises that deploy them. The European Union has enacted the most significant AI regulation in the world, and this project extends the company audit capability to the European market. Transparency obligations under Article 50 of the EU AI Act apply from August 2, 2026, and obligations for high-risk AI systems used in employment decisions apply on a schedule running to December 2, 2027 under recently adopted amendments. The student team will study the amended EU AI Act and related European law, translate the employment obligations into a structured requirements matrix, develop the European Union regulatory requirements package in the format specified by the sponsor, develop a European protected grounds reference standard, design an audit report template aligned to European documentation requirements, and generate a fully synthetic European test dataset to exercise the work end to end. No real personal data is used at any point in the project. Deliverables include the requirements matrix, the European Union regulatory requirements package, the protected grounds reference standard, the report template with sample output, the synthetic dataset with test harness, and a documented handoff package prepared for review by the sponsor's senior engineering team, which includes a first author IEEE published machine learning engineer. Students will gain experience translating enacted regulation into testable software requirements, applying professional software engineering practices including versioning, citation traceability, and test discipline, and delivering professional engineering work to a live venture at the intersection of artificial intelligence, employment law, and governance.
