Department of Labor must begin a study within six months on artificial intelligence's long-term impact on the state workforce, including effects on job performance, productivity, training, education requirements, privacy, and security, in consultation with the Department of Civil Service and Office of Information Technology Services.

Department of Labor must issue interim reports with findings and recommendations every five years, and a final report with legislative recommendations no later than January 1, 2035, to the Governor, Assembly Speaker, Assembly Minority Leader, Senate Temporary President, and Senate Minority Leader.

All state departments, boards, bureaus, divisions, commissions, committees, public authorities, public corporations, councils, offices, and other governmental entities are prohibited from using artificial intelligence in any way that would displace employees until the final report and recommendations are received.

The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
