No Robot Bosses Act
The No Robot Bosses Act (S 2419) prevents employers from using computer systems to make employment decisions without proper oversight. It prohibits employers from relying exclusively on automated decision systems for hiring, firing, or other employment decisions, and requires detailed disclosures to employees about how such systems were used. The bill creates a new Technology and Worker Protection Division within the Department of Labor to enforce these rules, and mandates that employers conduct annual tests for discrimination in these systems. The law applies to employers with 11 or more employees, including government contractors, and provides employees with the right to dispute automated decisions through human review.
