This course is for technical, business, human resources, and compliance professionals who work with counsel on the use of artificial intelligence and personal data. You will learn how U.S. states regulate AI and automated decision-making, including the California Consumer Privacy Act’s rules, the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act, and Colorado’s automated decision-making law, and how to compare laws across states. You will then see how employment law applies to AI in hiring and other workplace decisions, including disparate impact, disability discrimination, vendor liability, and the California and New York automated decision tool laws. Next, you will study how name, image, likeness, and publicity rights are being extended to AI-generated voices and digital replicas. You will finish with how disclosure, consent, and consumer rights apply when personal data is used with AI, including the compatible-purpose and reasonable-expectations tests, privacy policies, and cookie banner consent.

You will learn how U.S. state laws regulate artificial intelligence, starting with the California Consumer Privacy Act’s rules on automated decision-making technology, including what counts as replacing human decision-making, the pre-use notice and opt-out requirements and their exceptions, consumer access rights, and risk assessments for businesses and the vendors that supply them. You will also learn the key definitions, disclosure duties, and prohibited uses in the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act, including its AI sandbox program. Finally, you will learn how Colorado’s automated decision-making law approaches developer documentation, deployer notices, consumer rights, and a 60-day cure period, and how privacy issues connect AI regulation with employment decisions.
