California is officially pulling the plug on AI-led layoffs! Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 1024, mandating that human judgment must remain central to all termination decisions.

- **New Rule:** AI cannot be the sole basis for firing.
- **Deadline:** Compliance starts January 1, 2027.
- **Penalties:** Violations carry fines of $5,000 per worker.

Human oversight is now legally mandatory in the workplace!
