State government; require state agencies to provide a notice to employees when using artificial intelligence in personnel matters

View primary source →

Georgia House Bill 1351 has been introduced but not enacted. If enacted, it would add a new Code section, 50-1-15, to Chapter 1 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia. The section would require state governmental agencies to give disclosures when they use artificial intelligence in personnel matters. "Governmental agency" covers any board, commission, department, authority, other agency, or political subdivision of the state. "Artificial intelligence" is defined broadly. It includes systems that make predictions, recommendations, or decisions without significant human oversight, or that learn from data. It expressly includes automated scoring systems, predictive analytics, machine learning tools, and vendor-provided human resources platforms. Under subsection (b), an agency that uses AI itself, or through a third-party contractor, in hiring must state in the listed job description that AI may be used to evaluate an application. Under subsection (c), an agency that uses AI to evaluate an employee's performance in a way that leads to termination must provide a disclaimer documenting all decision pathways that led to the termination, including documentation of human review of those pathways. Under subsection (d), these disclaimers must also explain how the AI use was adopted and deployed and what data, sources, or metrics were used. Section 2 repeals conflicting laws.
