Introduced Text

Illinois HB4980 mandates human oversight for automated decision-making systems in public employment.

HB4980, the Meaningful Human Control of Artificial Intelligence Act, requires public employers to implement meaningful human review for automated decision-making systems affecting employee rights, benefits, and safety. Employers must conduct initial and periodic impact assessments, detailing system objectives, algorithms, and potential risks. Employers cannot use these systems for functions like performance evaluation or hiring without human oversight. Employees are protected from retaliation for refusing to follow system outputs.
