California employers: Using AI to Help Decide Whom to Discipline or Fire Will Soon Carry New Requirements.

Beginning July 1, 2027, SB 947 prohibits employers from relying solely on automated decision systems for discipline or termination. When an employer primarily relies on such a system, a human must corroborate its output, and the employee must receive a separate written notice when informed of the decision.
Employees may also request a description of their own data used by the system.
