Job-hunting can be hard enough on its own. It can be even harder for applicants who could be discriminated against by hiring programs that use artificial intelligence.

A new bill would require companies to tell job applicants if artificial intelligence, or AI, was used to evaluate their application, and it would require hiring software to undergo a “bias audit” to filter out any patterns of discrimination.

The aim of the bill is to have “some sort of guidelines set in place, hopefully, so that we do have audits for equity, on these different technologies that are used; also transparency for the public, so they’ll know when they’re applying, like ‘OK, this is being used,’” said Assemblywoman Sadaf Jaffer (D-Somerset), who is the bill’s prime sponsor.
