California employers must now disclose when artificial intelligence causes mass layoffs. Governor Newsom signed SB 951, requiring specific written notices for AI-driven job cuts. These notices must include a statement identifying the displacement as technology-related. Employers must also detail the number of affected employees, their roles, and the specific AI systems involved. The law takes effect January 1, 2027, and notices will be publicly published.
