For years, employers have been exploring the possibility of how automated tools (ranging from basic computer screening methods to advanced AI systems) may be able to improve and simplify the hiring process and other employment-related evaluation processes. And now, with NYC Local Law 144 going into effect in 2023, the new frontier of algorithmic decision-making in the workplace – and regulation of the same – is upon us.
NYC Local Law 144 is the most robust law regulating “automated employment decision tools” (AEDTs) to date, and it prohibits employers from using AI in employment decision-making processes unless they take a number of affirmative steps prior to doing so, including a bias audit of the tool. A key aspect of this bias audit is that it can also serve to enhance an employer’s attainment of its diversity, equity, and inclusion goals by ensuring that the use of AEDTs does not foster unintended bias or create unintended workforce disparities.
