California Requires AI Disclosures in Layoff Notices
Original: California Amends Cal/WARN Act to Require AI and Automation Disclosures in Layoff Notices
California has amended its Cal/WARN Act so employers must disclose in layoff notices when job losses are driven by artificial intelligence or automation. The change applies to mass layoffs and plant closures, requiring companies to tell affected workers whether technology is a reason for their dismissal. Employment lawyers say it is one of the first state laws of its kind and could become a model for other states as companies increasingly adopt AI tools.
Why now: Lawmakers and employers are focused on how rapidly spreading workplace AI is changing obligations during layoffs.
