Comment by Jerry McNerney
California state senator
Businesses are increasingly using AI to boost efficiency and productivity in the workplace. But there are currently no safeguards to prevent machines from unjustly or illegally impacting workers’ livelihoods and working conditions,[...] SB 7 does not prohibit ADS in the workplace, rather it establishes guardrails to ensure that California businesses are not operated by robo bosses — by putting a human in the loop. AI must remain a tool controlled by humans, not the other way around.AI Verified source (Mar 6, 2025)

The source page says SB 7 would bar employers from relying primarily on AI for hiring and other job decisions without human oversight, and this quote explicitly supports that approach by calling for guardrails and 'putting a human in the loop.' That makes it directly relevant to banning fully automated hiring decisions without human review and gives a clear enough stance signal.

The quote and source explicitly support requiring human review: SB 7 would "bar California employers from relying primarily on AI systems ... to make hiring ... decisions without human oversight" and would put "a human in the loop." That is effectively support for banning fully automated hiring decisions without human review.

The quote is directly on-topic: in source context, SB 7 is described as legislation that would require human oversight of workplace AI systems for hiring, promotion, discipline, and termination, and the quote explicitly defends that approach as 'putting a human in the loop.' Because employment decisions are a high-stakes domain, this gives a clear, determinable stance signal on the complete statement.

The author is clearly supportive: he says SB 7 would stop “robo bosses” by “putting a human in the loop,” and the source context says it would require human oversight for workplace decisions like hiring, promotion, discipline, and termination—i.e., high-stakes uses of AI.

The quote is authentic. The cited March 6, 2025 press release on Sen. Jerry McNerney’s official California Senate website contains the exact wording, with the omitted portion corresponding to the attribution break between the two quoted sentences: “Businesses are increasingly using AI to boost efficiency and productivity in the workplace. But there are currently no safeguards to prevent machines from unjustly or illegally impacting workers’ livelihoods and working conditions,” followed by “SB 7 does not prohibit ADS in the workplace, rather it establishes guardrails to ensure that California businesses are not operated by robo bosses — by putting a human in the loop. AI must remain a tool controlled by humans, not the other way around.” It is explicitly attributed to Sen. McNerney, so the stored author, date, and source are correct.
