People talk about this like a ban would be some wild unprecedented overreach. Illinois already did a version of it. The Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act requires employers to notify applicants when AI will analyze their video interviews, explain how it works, and get consent (Illinois Public Act 101-0260). That law passed in 2019 and the sky didn't fall, companies still hire in Illinois. What happened is that a few of the creepiest vendors quietly left the market. A ban on screening AI is just the logical next step: if you have to warn candidates that a machine is judging their face, maybe the machine shouldn't be judging their face. Precedent exists. It works. Scale it up.
