As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more widely used in hiring and employment decisions, Illinois has taken a significant step to regulate how employers must inform workers about AI's use. Effective January 1, 2026, House Bill 3773 amended the Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA) to require, among other things, employer notice when AI influences or facilitates employment decisions.

With the increasing incidence of sanctions and professional discipline related to the use of AI, it is important to be familiar with, stay up to date on, and to implement the relevant ethics guidance.
