On 1st January 2020, the Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act came into effect in Illinois, affecting employers who use artificial intelligence to analyse video interviews of job applicants. Here are the 5 things you need to know about this legislation.
Before AI is used to analyse a video interview, employers must inform candidates that AI is being used to assess their suitability, how the AI works, and which characteristics will be used in the evaluation.
Based on the information provided in the notice, candidates must consent to the video interview to be judged by AI before it occurs.
Video interviews must only be shared with those whose expertise or technology is required to evaluate the interview. In other words, video interviews may be shared with vendors providing the AI used to analyse the interview.
When requested by the applicant, employers must delete an applicant’s interview(s) within 30 days. Any other parties who have a copy of the video interview must also delete the video, including any backups.
Employers relying solely on AI to analyse video interviews must collect and report the race and ethnicity of the applicants who,
a) are not selected for an in-person interview following the AI analysis, and
b) are hired following the AI analysis
This should be reported to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity annually by December 31 and should include the data collected in the 12-month period ending on November 30 preceding the filing of the report.
