Employer Best Practices: Artificial Intelligence and the Illinois Human Rights Act

In August 2024, Illinois enacted House Bill 3773, known as the “Limit Predictive Analysis Bill,” amending the Illinois Human Rights Act to address the growing use of artificial intelligence in employment decisions. Effective January 1, 2026, the law restricts discriminatory uses of AI, requires transparency when AI is used in hiring and other employment actions, and places new compliance obligations on employers. With regulations forthcoming, employers should begin evaluating and monitoring their AI tools now to mitigate risk and ensure compliance.
