Register now to stay ahead of California’s new AI rules

California has amended its Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) to regulate the use of Automated Decision Systems (ADS) in employment decisions.

Effective October 1, 2025, these rules create new obligations for both employers and vendors using AI-driven systems in hiring. In the session, we'll break down:

  • Employer and vendor responsibilities
  • Bias testing and audit requirements
  • Practical next steps

This exclusive session will uncover what the law says, what it means for you, and how to prepare now to avoid compliance pitfalls.
