AI Summary
This bill addresses the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making tools in state employment and government agencies. It requires the Office of Information Technology Services to maintain an inventory of AI systems used by state agencies, with annual public disclosure of these systems on the state's open data website. The bill defines "automated employment decision-making tools" as software using algorithms or AI to materially automate human decision-making in employment contexts, such as hiring, promotion, and termination. It mandates that state agencies publicly list their automated employment decision-making tools, including descriptions, implementation dates, and purposes. The bill explicitly protects existing employee rights by stipulating that AI systems cannot alter collective bargaining agreements, displace workers, reduce wages or benefits, or transfer existing employee duties to automated systems. Additionally, the bill provides a detailed definition of AI systems and clarifies what constitutes a system that "directly impacts the public," excluding basic automation and pre-recorded rule-based systems. The legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with certain provisions expiring on July 1, 2028, demonstrating a measured approach to regulating emerging AI technologies in workplace settings.
