California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law banning so-called "robo-bosses" — automated AI systems — from making decisions to fire workers without human involvement, making California the first US state to adopt such a restriction.
The law marks a reversal for Newsom, who had previously vetoed an earlier version of similar legislation. Its passage reflects growing concern among lawmakers and labor advocates about the expanding role of artificial intelligence in workplace management decisions, including hiring, scheduling, and termination.
Supporters of the law argue that high-stakes employment decisions, such as termination, should require human judgment and accountability rather than being delegated entirely to automated systems. Business groups have in the past raised concerns that such restrictions could slow the adoption of AI tools meant to improve efficiency.
California has frequently taken the lead on technology regulation in the United States, and the new law could serve as a model for other states considering similar restrictions on automated employment decisions as AI tools become more common in workplaces.
