Across the US, there is a clear impetus from policymakers to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) and automated systems. This is particularly true for systems used in high-stakes contexts such as employment decisions, with HR tech receiving a lot of regulatory attention.

One of the states making some of the most significant progress towards making AI safer and fairer is California, where multiple laws have been proposed to impose requirements on developers and deployers of AI systems, although few of these efforts have been successful yet.
