Ending Exclusive AI Boss Decisions: New Worker Rights Against Automated Systems.
This law introduces new rights protecting employees and candidates from employers relying too heavily on Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems for decisions regarding hiring, firing, or compensation. Citizens gain the right to human oversight over AI decisions, full documentation explaining the system's reasoning, and the ability to appeal the outcome to a human. Crucially, disputes regarding violations of these rights cannot be forced into mandatory arbitration, allowing citizens to sue employers directly in court.
Key points
Employers cannot make key employment decisions (e.g., hiring, pay, firing) based exclusively on AI systems; human oversight and verification are mandatory.
You have the right to a detailed, plain-language explanation of how an AI system influenced your job decision, including a copy of the input data and the ability to appeal to a human.
Disputes regarding violations of these rights cannot be forced into mandatory arbitration; citizens can sue employers directly in court.
