Regulators in California and Connecticut are responding with concrete legislative proposals and executive action that would impose new compliance obligations on employers who use these tools. Employers with UK or EU operations should also be watching parallel developments, as workplace AI is increasingly being regulated through a combination of AI-specific rules, data protection law, equality law and employment consultation obligations.
