Bill > S08928

This bill, known as the "artificial intelligence workforce impact transparency act," amends the existing New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act to require employers to disclose when job losses are caused, in whole or in part, by the introduction or expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, automation technologies, or machine-based processes that have replaced or significantly changed employee duties. This disclosure must include the estimated percentage of affected positions and a brief description of the technology involved. The bill also establishes a two-year pilot program called the AI Innovation and Workforce Tracking Initiative to evaluate the effectiveness of these new reporting requirements and their impact on policy development, with the Department of Labor maintaining a database of this information and publishing quarterly summaries to inform workforce planning and retraining efforts.
