SB 947 No Robo Bosses Act
No Robo Bosses Act bars employers from relying solely on ADS to fire or discipline workers. It would also require human oversight and independent verification when employers use ADS to assist in termination and disciplinary decisions, and prohibit the use of ADS systems that use personal information of workers to “predict” what they’ll do in the future.
