Certain artificial intelligence use in employment procedures prohibited.
This bill prohibits employers in Minnesota from using artificial intelligence systems that discriminate against job applicants or employees based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, and sexual orientation. It defines artificial intelligence as machine-based systems that generate outputs like predictions or decisions to influence employment processes including hiring, promotion, and termination. The law requires employers to provide notice to applicants and employees when AI is used for employment decisions that could affect their rights. Violations of these provisions would be classified as unfair employment practices under Minnesota state law.
