California's compliance on automated decision-making technology (ADMT) is going into effect January 1st. The rules apply whenever ADMT is used to make a 'significant decision' about a consumer — in employment, lending, housing, healthcare, or education — and require new opt-out flows, pre-use notice, access-request handling, and documented risk assessments. This session breaks down exactly what counts as a 'significant decision,' which systems in a typical tech stack are likely to be swept in, and how to prepare now — minimizing risk and staying compliant — instead of scrambling when the deadline hits.
Key takeaways:
- A working definition of "significant decision" under CCPA's ADMT rules, with concrete examples, anchored in the "substantially replaces human judgment" test — assistive tools a human can override are excluded even when they look automated.
- Which systems most companies already have in production are likely to qualify as ADMT and need new controls, including HR tech, fraud scoring, and underwriting tools that get far less scrutiny than customer-facing AI, and this is already going into effect with fines with, GM, Sephora, and Tractor Supply.
- A practical inventory-triage framework attendees can apply immediately, rather than another summary of the regulation.
