New York Regulates the Use of AI-Driven Hiring
By: Brenna Harman
New York City published final regulations regarding the use of AI-driven hiring tools, and enforcement of the laws went into effect on July 5, 2023.[1] Local Law 144 (“NYC 144”) requires any automated employment decision tool (AEDT) to be audited annually.[2] The audits are performed to check for bias that may be intentionally or unintentionally within the systems.[3] The employer must determine if they are using an AEDT, perform the audit, publish a public summary of the audit, and provide certain notices to applicants or employees who are subject to screening by the tool.[4]
