Illinois makes discriminatory AI in employment a civil-rights violation

Public Act 103-0804 amended the Human Rights Act so that using AI with a discriminatory effect in employment decisions, or zip codes as a proxy, is a violation, with notice duties; effective 1 January 2026.

Practical impact: Illinois employers must test AI hiring and HR tools for discriminatory effect and notify employees before 2026.
