No Robot Bosses Act
The No Robot Bosses Act (HR 7621) prohibits employers from using automated decision systems (like AI) exclusively for employment decisions such as hiring, firing, promotions, or scheduling. Employers must conduct pre-deployment and annual independent testing for discrimination, provide transparent disclosures about how these systems work, and allow employees to opt out of AI management and have human managers. The bill creates a new Technology and Worker Protection Division within the Department of Labor to enforce these requirements. It affects most private employers (those with 11+ covered employees) and certain government entities, with whistleblower protections for employees reporting violations.
