## Overview

Illinois regulates AI in employment through two laws: the Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act (2020), which requires notice, explanation and consent before AI analyses video interviews, and HB 3773 (Public Act 103-0804, signed August 2024, effective 1 January 2026), which amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to make it a civil-rights violation for employers to use AI that has a discriminatory effect on protected classes or to use zip codes as a proxy, and requires notice to employees when AI is used in employment decisions. The Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA, 2008) remains the strictest US biometric consent law.
