Californians should have the right to know when AI is making a consequential decision about their lives and to appeal when things go wrong.

We know that people want technology to be fair and unbiased—and that California has the potential to be a leader in making that happen.
That’s why we’re co-sponsoring #AB1018, the Automated Decisions Safety Act.
The day included:
- Meeting with 90 lawmakers/their staff
- Advocating for 3 pieces of priority legislation, including the Automated Decisions Safety Act #AB1018
- Priority bill authors, like Asm. Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, as well as Progressive Caucus chair Alex Lee, speaking
So what’s going on? Will estimated costs stand in the way of the Automated Decisions Safety Act #AB1018 or other state AI regulations?

According to a voluntary report, the state of California isn’t using ANY high-risk AI systems.
Yet, the California Senate Appropriations Committee says that implementing a bill regulating high-risk AI systems #AB1018 would cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
The math doesn’t seem to add up…

Yesterday, small business owners Todd Bailey (GreyDot Media) & Jerick Sobie (Lucky Feet Shoes) met with California legislators to speak out against #AB566 and #AB1018. If passed, these bills would restrict digital tools that help local businesses advertise, reach customers, and operate efficiently.
Left unchecked, these algorithms can produce biased results, making everyday people vulnerable to automated discrimination—without them even knowing about it.

Affordable AI tools help California #smallbiz grow & compete. #AB1018 would raise costs and create new hurdles at the worst time.
Tell legislators: Oppose AB 1018 and keep AI tools affordable and accessible.

Now, they’ll be sent to the other house to be reviewed. Hopefully, from there, each bill will pass, moving onto the governor’s desk and then into law!
Algorithms are embedded in every facet of daily life, making decisions about us all within opaque, biased software “solutions.”
But we can do something about it with the Automated Decisions Safety Act #AB1018.

Today, we’re in Sacramento for the @housingnowca.bsky.social Capitol Day, meeting with legislators to talk about bills and budgeting to address the housing crisis.
These bills include the End AI Rent Hikes Act #SB52, the Automated Decision Safety Act #AB1018, and the Affordable Rent Act #AB1157.
#AB1018 - Automated decision-making systems use secret algorithms that can discriminate in housing, jobs, and lending— all without accountability or oversight. AB 1018 requires bias testing and transparency. People deserve to know how decisions are made.

Algorithms are already shaping who gets hired, who gets housing, and who gets healthcare. Without oversight, these tools replicate and amplify bias—behind closed doors and without your knowledge.
