As artificial intelligence tools become prevalent in hiring and monitoring employees, California's "No Robo Bosses Act" (SB 7) seeks to ensure that human oversight remains crucial. The bill, introduced by Sen. Jerry McNerney, addresses concerns that reliance on automated systems could wrongly impact job opportunities and treatment of workers. SB 7, which passed the Senate, would restrict the use of automated decision-making for promotions, discipline, or firings, requiring human review and supporting information for any automated actions taken against employees. The legislative move highlights the growing ethical dilemma around AI in the workplace.
When it comes to people's lives and their careers, you don't want these automated decision-making systems to operate without any oversight.
If passed, SB 7 would bar employers from relying "primarily" on automated decision-making software for promotion, discipline or firing of employees.
The "No Robo Bosses Act" seeks to impose human decision-making over certain workplace-automation technology, addressing fears about AI's impact on job security.
The bill would require any automated decision to be reviewed by a person who must investigate and compile corroborating information.
