Employers would be banned from using automated decision systems—like algorithms or AI software—to make certain workplace decisions about hiring, firing, scheduling, or pay without human review and worker notification. Workers would have the right to know when these automated systems are being used to evaluate them and could request a human to reconsider any decision made by the system. The law aims to prevent unfair or discriminatory outcomes that can result when companies rely too heavily on automated tools to manage their workforce.
