MINOR
The bill was amended to make the artificial intelligence impact assessment requirements more comprehensive and to replace the fixed employee displacement threshold with a tiered system based on company size. These changes expand the scope of the bill to capture more detailed information about AI systems and create a more nuanced approach to taxing companies that displace workers through automation.
Scope change
The bill now requires more detailed impact assessments including design and training data, and the tax surcharge applies to different numbers of displaced employees depending on the company's total workforce size rather than a single threshold of fifteen employees.
REQUIREMENT

Added requirement for impact assessments to include design and training data used to develop the artificial intelligence process.

ELIGIBILITY

Changed the employee displacement threshold from a fixed number of fifteen employees to a tiered system where the required number of displaced employees depends on the company's total workforce size.

DEFINITION

Modified the language to refer to a 'threshold number of employees' rather than a specific count, allowing for flexibility based on company size.
