This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 363A.08, by adding a new subdivision that addresses the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in employment practices. The bill defines "artificial intelligence" as a machine-based system that generates outputs such as predictions and decisions based on input data. It establishes that using AI in a way that leads to discrimination against employees or job applicants based on various protected characteristics—including race, gender identity, and disability—is considered an unfair employment practice.

Additionally, the bill mandates that employers must provide notice to employees or applicants when AI is being used in recruitment, hiring, or other employment-related decisions. This requirement aims to ensure transparency and protect individuals from potential biases that may arise from AI systems in the workplace. Overall, the legislation seeks to regulate the use of AI in employment to promote fairness and prevent discrimination.
