Preventing a dystopian work environment in Massachusetts by regulating electronic monitoring and automated decision systems.

Massachusetts H1873 aims to prevent dystopian work environments by regulating electronic monitoring and automated decision systems. Employers must provide clear notice before electronically monitoring workers and cannot rely solely on such data for employment decisions. Employers must also conduct Algorithmic Impact Assessments (AIA) for automated decision systems (ADS) used in employment decisions. Vendors must comply with these regulations, and employers are jointly liable for vendor failures.
