Pritzker signs Illinois bill aimed at artificial intelligence accountability
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has signed legislation requiring companies to disclose when they use artificial intelligence in hiring processes. The law mandates that employers inform job applicants about AI involvement and prohibits the use of biometric data for decision-making without consent. This measure aims to prevent algorithmic bias in recruitment while increasing transparency for candidates. Illinois joins a growing number of states establishing regulatory guardrails for the use of automated technology in the professional workforce.
