AI in the workplace: Businesses brace for new rules | TechTarget
Summary
The various legislative proposals designate any workplace AI system involved in hiring and firing as "high-risk" and subject to special requirements. That could include disclosing the use of AI to job candidates and limiting reliance on automated decision-making in any consequential employment action. In California, for instance, the No Robo Bosses Act introduced March 6 seeks to bar employers from exclusively relying on AI in hiring, promotion and termination decisions without human oversight. "AI must remain a tool controlled by humans, not the other way around," said State Sen. Jerry McNerney, a Democrat from the San Francisco Bay area community of Pleasanton, in a statement. "The states will take the lead, regardless of what happens at the federal level," said David Trier, vice president of product at ModelOp, an AI governance software company.
