Illinois continues to adopt additional privacy and security legislation. The Prairie State is home to the Biometric Information Privacy Act, first of its kind legislation regulating the collection and possession of biometric information, and also the Personal Information Protection Act, considered one of the more expansive data breach notification laws in the nation. And now, the Illinois state legislature unanimously passed the Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act (“the AIVI Act”), HB2557, which imposes consent, transparency and data destruction requirements on employers that implement AI technology during the job interview process. The AIVI Act, the first state law to regulate AI use in video interviews, will take effect January 1, 2020.
Given the increase in litigation surrounding similar legislation, employers will want to closely monitor this law. Please find the rest of this article discussing this legislation in more detail on our Workplace Privacy, Data Management & Security Report here
