AN ACT RELATING TO LABOR AND LABOR RELATIONS -- ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE USE AND FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

Summary

The bill adds a new chapter to Rhode Island’s labor laws that defines terms such as automated decision systems, electronic monitoring tools, and employee data. It bars employers from relying primarily on data gathered by electronic monitoring when making hiring, promotion, disciplinary, termination, or compensation decisions, and it forces them to provide clear notice of any such use. The goal is to ensure human oversight and transparency in AI‑driven workplace decisions.
