The AB 2027 Fact Sheet outlines significant limitations on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in relation to worker data for both public and private employers. Authored by Assembly Member Christopher Ward, the bill prohibits the collection and processing of worker data beyond what is necessary for employment-related obligations and forbids the use of such data to train AI systems that could replicate or replace jobs. This broad application raises concerns about the potential banning of many AI tools in the workplace, including those that enhance productivity without directly replacing human labor.
