Illinois: Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act (820 ILCS 42)
IllinoisLegislationIn force
The Illinois Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act regulates employers that request job applicants to submit recorded video interviews evaluated by artificial intelligence for positions based in Illinois. The law requires employers to inform candidates prior to the interview that artificial intelligence will be used, explain how the technology works and the general characteristics evaluated, and obtain candidate consent before evaluation. Employers are strictly prohibited from evaluating candidates using artificial intelligence if consent is not granted. Additionally, the legislation restricts the sharing of applicant videos to individuals whose expertise or technology is required to evaluate candidate fitness. Candidates are also granted the right to request the deletion of their video interviews, requiring employers and third parties to purge all copies within 30 days.
