2. Regulation of AI (AB 2930)
This bill is a part of recent trend reflecting increased concern regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and Automated Decision Tools (ADTs) in ways that may discriminate against workers. It is nearly identical to AB 331, which was introduced in 2023 and passed several Assembly committees on party-line votes before stalling in the Appropriations Committee. The bill would create a new chapter in the Business and Professions Code to regulate ADTs and impose requirements on both the users of such tools and the developers of such tools. While employers who use ADTs are covered by this bill, the scope of the proposed new law is not limited to the employment context. California employers thus may also need to consider possible impacts of this bill on their use of ADTs with respect to consumers and other members of the public in addition to their employees.
