According to an article by CDF Labor Law LLP on JD Supra, California's Civil Rights Council has proposed new regulations to govern the use of AI in employment decisions. These regulations address concerns that AI could perpetuate biases, such as rejecting female applicants to maintain a male-dominated workforce. Proposed measures include:Allowing claims against employers for AI-related discrimination based on protected characteristics.Mandating the retention of employment records, including AI decision-making data, for at least four years.Requiring individualized assessments for applicants with criminal histories despite AI recommendations.Prohibiting third parties from aiding discrimination through AI design or usage.Providing examples of potentially unlawful medical or psychological assessments by AI.These regulations aim to mitigate legal liabilities for employers and AI providers, emphasizing the importance of consulting with employment counsel to avoid future litigation.
