These tools offer real operational benefits. They also create overlapping legal obligations that many manufacturers have not yet addressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick Hits<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AI-enabled dashcams, facility surveillance cameras, and other safety and productivity monitoring tools can trigger data privacy obligations that vary by state.<\/li>\n<li>A manufacturer\u2019s compliance obligations do not depend on what the tool is called or how it is described, but on whether it collects sensitive data types, monitors workers, or generates outputs that feed into employment decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Applicable law often demands manufacturers develop compliance strategies before these tools are deployed, not retrofit the strategies after regulatory enforcement or litigation forces the issue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The question is not whether manufacturers may use these tools\u2014they can. The question is what steps they must take before they begin using the tools and how they can ensure compliance with applicable law as they use them. Manufacturers are required to develop and leverage a state-aware compliance strategy built around three questions for each new tool: what data is collected, what does the system do with the data, and how is the tool\u2019s output used in the workplace?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Cameras May Be Doing More Than You Think<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Driver-facing artificial intelligence (AI) dashcams marketed for fleet safety are now standard in many commercial and industrial fleets. Likewise, surveillance cameras that identify individual workers on the floor for timekeeping or safety purposes, or track time-on-task for productivity and work assignment purposes, are becoming increasingly commonplace. But these technologies are not just safety and workforce management tools.
