AB 2027: Worker data: prohibitions: artificial intelligence.

This bill aims to regulate the use of worker data by employers and vendors to prevent the replication, automation, or replacement of jobs. Employers and vendors are prohibited from using worker data to train or deploy artificial intelligence for these purposes. They are also not allowed to sell, disclose, or provide access to worker data to third parties for this purpose. The bill requires a contract between an employer and vendor to include specific terms, including joint liability for violations. A statutory penalty of up to $500 per employee for each violation is established. Workers can bring civil actions for damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees and costs if a violation occurs. The bill applies to all cities, including charter cities.
