Employers using AI to analyse video interviews, and (from 2026) any employer using AI in recruitment or employment decisions affecting Illinois workers.
Penalties & enforcement
Enforced under the Illinois Human Rights Act as a civil rights violation.
Enforced by: Illinois Department of Human Rights
Illinois AI (HR) is enforced by Illinois Department of Human Rights. Its obligations are already live, so a gap is a present exposure rather than a future one. In practice that means knowing which of your AI systems fall in scope in employment & HR, holding assessments that speak to bias & discrimination, automated decisions and transparency, and being able to produce that evidence on request.
