AI Summary
This bill addresses the regulation of automated employment decision-making tools and artificial intelligence (AI) systems in New York state government. The bill requires state agencies to publicly disclose their use of automated employment decision-making tools by publishing an annual list on their websites, including details such as the tool's description, start date, purpose, and other relevant information. Additionally, it mandates that the Office of Information Technology Services maintain an inventory of state agency AI systems, which will be posted on the New York state open data website. The bill defines key terms like "automated employment decision-making tool" and "artificial intelligence system," and explicitly protects employee rights by ensuring that AI tools cannot: (1) impact existing collective bargaining agreements, (2) displace or reduce employee positions or benefits, or (3) transfer existing employee duties to automated systems. The legislation aims to increase transparency around AI use in employment contexts while safeguarding workers' rights and providing oversight of technological tools used in state agencies. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with certain provisions expiring on July 1, 2028.
