California AB1883 prohibits employers from using workplace surveillance tools that use artificial intelligence to recognize emotions or collect.

California AB1883 adds a new part to the Labor Code, prohibiting employers from using workplace surveillance tools that use artificial intelligence to recognize, infer, or predict an individual’s emotional state or collect neural data. The law allows the use of such tools for safety purposes or if they do not meet these specifications. It also exempts certain federal operations related to national security, military, space, or defense. The Labor Commissioner can enforce this part, including investigating violations and ordering relief.
