The Illinois General Assembly enacted the Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act (820 ILCS 42). The act provides that employers must notify applicants before a videotaped interview that artificial intelligence may be used to analyze the interview and consider the applicant's fitness for the position. Employers also must provide each applicant with information before the interview explaining how the artificial intelligence works and what general types of characteristics it uses to evaluate applicants. Employers also must obtain, before the interview, consent from the applicant to be evaluated by the artificial intelligence program. Employers also may not share applicant videos unnecessarily and they must delete an applicant’s interview upon request of the applicant.
