The 'Illinois Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act' is a real law. Here's why it may be coming to a job application near year.

Under the new law, companies must explain how the technology works and how the tools evaluate a candidate. Employers must obtain consent from applicants before using A.I. to assess their videos. The legislation also prohibits businesses from sharing submitted videos except with "persons whose expertise or technology" are required to screen applicants. Job applicants can ask to have submitted videos destroyed, and companies, including any individual with copies, must comply within 30 days.
