Comment by Lorena Gonzalez

President of the California Federation of Labor Unions, AFL-CIO; former California State Assembly member
Right now, there are absolutely no restrictions on how employers can use artificial intelligence to arbitrarily discipline and fire their workers. Employers are devastating workers' livelihoods and taking no responsibility for the callous decisions of this unchecked technology. This is unacceptable. We need stronger guardrails to make sure there is human review and oversight of any decision made by a machine that impacts a worker's job and paycheck.
