Right to Opt-Out

Right to Opt-Out of Automated Decision-Making

The right to refuse or withdraw from AI-driven employment processes and receive alternative human-based evaluation. Some jurisdictions require employers to offer non-AI alternatives when candidates opt out of automated screening.

Why This Matters for Employers

Colorado AI Act and CCPA ADMT grant rights to opt-out of certain automated decisions. NYC LL144 requires offering alternative selection processes upon request. Employers must provide meaningful alternatives, not just token options.
