Introduce and support legislation to prohibit employers from relying on automated decision systems for work-related decisions and require evaluations, transparency, opt-out rights, and human review options for workers and applicants.

The No Robot Bosses Act would: Prohibit employers from relying on automated decision systems to make work-related decisions (e.g., hiring/firing, discipline, etc.); Require employers and developers to conduct pre-deployment evaluations and annual impact assessments of these systems; Mandate transparency and disclosures to workers before automated decision systems are used in employment decisions; Give workers the right to opt out of algorithmic management in favor of a human manager; and Require employers to provide workers a human review option in the hiring process.

Markey introduced the No Robot Bosses Act, which would restrict automated employment decisions and create worker safeguards around algorithmic management.
