California's AI over-legislation problem: Why existing employment law already has it covered, part 3
This final installment of the three-part series argues California's existing FEHA regulations already hold employers accountable for AI discrimination, making pending bills like SB 947, AB 1898 and SB 951 little more than new litigation pathways in PAGA's mold, and urges employers to get ahead of the shifting landscape through proactive governance rather than waiting on Sacramento.
This is the third part of a three-part series about AI-related employment legislation. Parts one and two addressed existing and pending legislation related to this topic. This third part argues that no additional legislation is necessary to regulate the AI issues currently facing employees in the workplace. In short, these proposed bills do nothing but unnecessarily add to an already existing framework of laws that cover the issues each proposed bill seeks to address.
