GoKawiilNewsom signs SB 947, barring AI-only firing decisions in California
Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 947, the 'No Robo Bosses Act,' which bars California employers from relying solely on automated systems to fire or discipline workers. Companies that primarily use AI for such decisions must have a human reviewer confirm them using other evidence like managerial evaluations, and must notify affected employees in writing, disclose what data was used, and give them a human contact to explain the decision.
