Bill Summary
This bill provides that an employer that uses an artificial intelligence analysis of an applicant-submitted video is required to notify an applicant before the interview that artificial intelligence may be used to analyze the applicant's video interview and consider the applicant's fitness for the position. The bill also requires an employer to provide an applicant with information before the interview explaining how the artificial intelligence works and what characteristics it uses to evaluate applicants and obtain consent from the applicant to be evaluated by the artificial intelligence program. An employer may not use artificial intelligence to evaluate an applicant who has not consented to the use of artificial intelligence analysis. Additionally, the bill provides that an employer may not share applicant videos except with persons or service providers whose expertise is necessary in evaluating an applicant. Upon request from the applicant, an employer is required to delete all copies of an applicant's interview within 30 days. The bill requires an employer that uses an artificial intelligence analysis of a video interview to collect and report demographic data to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development (department). The department will report to the Governor and the Legislature whether the data discloses a racial bias in the use of artificial intelligence. The bill provides for civil penalties to be collected for violations of its provisions.
AI Summary
This bill establishes regulations for employers using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze video interviews in the hiring process, requiring them to inform applicants beforehand that AI will be used to assess their suitability for a position, explain how the AI works and what characteristics it evaluates, and obtain explicit consent from the applicant before proceeding with the AI analysis; employers are prohibited from sharing applicant videos with anyone other than necessary service providers for evaluation and must delete all copies of an applicant's interview within 30 days of a request, while also mandating the collection and annual reporting of demographic data to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development to identify any racial bias in AI usage, with the department then reporting its findings to the Governor and Legislature, and violations of these provisions will result in civil penalties.
