Key Requirement
Employers must notify employees when AI assists in hiring, reviews, promotions, or discipline, and may not use AI that discriminates against protected classes (including via ZIP-code proxies).
Nevada has not enacted a comprehensive AI law. Narrow AI statutes are in force: AB 406 restricts using AI to deliver mental or behavioral health care (civil penalties up to $15,000 per incident), and AB 271 requires disclosure of AI-generated 'synthetic media' in election and political advertising. Existing consumer-protection laws may also apply to AI-driven decisions.
