Consumer Protection - High-Risk Artificial Intelligence - Developer and Deployer Requirements

SB 936 requires developers and deployers of high-risk artificial intelligence systems - those making decisions affecting housing, employment, healthcare, loans, or other significant consumer rights - to prevent algorithmic discrimination. It mandates developers to disclose risks and provide documentation, while deployers must conduct impact assessments, implement risk management programs, and inform consumers about AI-driven decisions. Consumers gain the right to correct data and appeal consequential decisions, such as loan denials or hiring choices. The Attorney General enforces the law, and consumers can sue deployers for violations. This applies only to businesses using AI for specific high-stakes decisions, not general AI tools.
