The regulations would require employers to conduct a bias audit of their AI systems, implement policies and procedures to prevent bias in AI systems, train employees on bias in AI systems, disclose information about AI systems to employees, and take corrective action if bias is found in an AI system. The regulations are still in the proposal stage, but they are likely to have a significant impact on employers that use AI systems.

How California and Other States are Tackling AI Legislation, Brookings Institution, March, 22, 2023
The article discusses that, as artificial intelligence (AI) technology advances, it is becoming increasingly important for governments to regulate its use. In recent years, a number of states have begun to introduce legislation aimed at addressing some of the potential harms associated with AI, such as discrimination and bias. One such state is California, which has introduced a bill that would require companies to conduct algorithmic impact assessments (AIAs) before deploying AI systems that could make consequential decisions about people's lives. The bill also gives individuals the right to request information about how their data was used to make a decision, and to challenge those decisions if they believe they were discriminatory or biased. Other states that have introduced AI-related legislation include Illinois, Texas, and Vermont. These bills cover a range of topics, such as requiring companies to disclose how they use AI, prohibiting discrimination based on AI, and providing individuals with the right to access their data.
