Automated-decision systems in employment (Civil Rights Council FEHA regulations)

Regulations approved June 27, 2025 and effective October 1, 2025 that confirm using an automated-decision system (including AI) in hiring, promotion, or other employment decisions can violate California's anti-discrimination law if it harms people based on protected traits. They require keeping automated-decision data with other employment records for four years and treat some AI assessments as unlawful medical inquiries.
