California’s new rules on Automated Decision Systems (ADS) will go into effect starting Oct. 1, 2025.
The regulations will help protect against potential employment discrimination when using artificial intelligence, algorithms, and other automated-decision systems for employment actions like hiring, promotions, and performance reviews. The regulations provide information on how existing antidiscrimination laws apply to the use of artificial intelligence in employment decisions. Employers and AI vendors must also keep audits, decision logs, and other records for at least four years.
