Employers cannot use AI in ways that subject employees to unlawful discrimination in recruiting, hiring, promotion, renewal, selection for training, discharge, discipline, tenure, or terms and privileges of employment. The law also requires notice when AI is used for employment decisions and bars the use of zip code as a proxy for protected classes.
