He says employer surveillance takes various forms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Call center workers, for example, may be required to use tools that employ emotional recognition and generative AI to analyze interactions,&#8221; adds Bryan. &#8220;These systems send constant nudges to alter worker behavior and provide data to supervisors for corrective measures. Workers face risk of bias, discrimination and error, usually without knowing they&#8217;re being monitored in this way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Opponents argue the bill&#8217;s broad language prevents the use of routine equipment such as security cameras. The measure has passed the Senate&#8217;s Privacy, Digital Tech and Consumer Protection Committee. It heads next to Appropriations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalw.org\/bay-area-news\/2026-07-01\/new-bill-aims-to-regulate-invasive-technology\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New bill aims to regulate invasive technology https:\/\/www.kalw.org\/bay-area-news\/2026-07-01\/new-bill-aims-to-regulate-invasive-technology Publish Date: 2026-07-02 00:39:00 Source Domain: www.kalw.org&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":284778,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/e2ce7e2\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/3000x1575+0+213\/resize\/1200x630!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F90%2F3b%2Fae55fabe4ad698c516214e3e4221%2Fthedigitalartist-technology-4205276.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-284777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284777"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284777"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284777\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":284779,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284777\/revisions\/284779"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
