California is poised to enact a new law requiring businesses to disclose if artificial intelligence or automation is replacing workers during layoffs. This legislation, which has passed the state Senate, will expand existing layoff notification requirements. Employers will need to include information about AI or automation in their official layoff notices and reports to the state's labor agency. The bill aims to provide greater transparency for workers affected by technological displacement. Governor Gavin Newsom is expected to sign the measure into law.
