When does the Illinois AI Video Interview Act apply – What Counts as “AI Analysis” of a Video Interview?

The Illinois AI Video Interview Act applies when an employer uses AI to analyze video interviews in a way that evaluates or scores candidates. This can include automated review of speech patterns, facial expressions, word choice, tone, or other features that influence hiring decisions. If AI meaningfully contributes to assessing the applicant, the safer approach is to assume the law applies and ensure notice and consent processes are in place.
