California has finalized regulations on automated decision-making technology (ADMT), strengthening consumer protections under state privacy law. The rules require businesses to disclose when AI is used in significant decisions, offer opt-out rights, and provide meaningful explanations of outcomes. Companies must also conduct risk assessments and implement safeguards against bias. The regulations increase transparency, accountability, and oversight, signaling a broader push to ensure fair and responsible use of AI in areas like tenant and employment screening.
