SummaryThe California Privacy Commissioner has proposed new regulations that would give Californians the right to opt out of encounters with automated systems and provide strong safeguards against the use of AI. Under the proposal, consumers would be able to opt out of automated decision-making systems in areas such as housing, education, employment, criminal justice, health care, insurance, and credit. The language also allows people to opt out of technologies that monitor workers, track consumers in public places, or use consumer data to train AI software.
