A 5053 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Artificial Intelligence Ethics Board in DOLWD.

This bill establishes the Artificial Intelligence Ethics Board within New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development. It requires companies selling AI technology in the state to conduct an "Artificial Intelligence Impact Assessment" annually before sale, analyzing privacy risks and potential job displacement. The board will set standards for these assessments and recommend worker protections, including one month's advance notice, employer-funded retraining, and severance for workers displaced by AI. The board will oversee AI use, emphasizing bias prevention and accountability, and consists of seven members appointed by state leadership with specific AI expertise.
