The company cannot inform the works council of the parameters, rules and instructions an algorithm or AI system is based on without documenting what those parameters, rules and instructions are, and that documentation persists for as long as the same system continues to affect working conditions, access to employment or continued employment, unlike a one-off notice tied to a single transaction. The article states no retention period. The party entitled to the information is the works council (comité de empresa).
