Extends California’s existing sweatfree procurement standards to cover AI products that rely on data enrichment labor, ensuring the state does not contract with companies that exploit data workers. Requires certification, living wage mandates, and independent monitoring for data enrichment services.

KCA Context
AI products depend on data labeling, content moderation, and annotation work that is frequently performed under exploitative conditions by workers in the Global South. California’s sweatfree procurement framework already covers apparel and equipment but has not been updated for the AI supply chain. This bill closes that gap and establishes the first state procurement standard addressing labor conditions in AI development.
