Governor J.B. Pritzker recently signed House Bill 3773, a legislation aimed at regulating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in employment practices.
This new law, which takes effect on January 1, 2026, amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to include certain AI applications, such as generative AI (GenAI), as potential civil rights violations.
By expanding the scope of the Human Rights Act, Illinois joins a growing number of jurisdictions, including Colorado, New York City, Tennessee, and Illinois’ own Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act, that are taking steps to address various concerns around GenAI.
