New York City’s AI Bias Law Has Been Postponed>
JD Supra – Kathryn Rattigan
The New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection will delay enforcement of Local Law 144, until April 15, 2023. The law requires companies operating in the City to audit automated employment decision tools for bias prior to use, and to post these audit reports publicly. The City is delaying enforcement due to a “substantial volume of thoughtful comments” from concerned parties. Most of these comments likely came from NYC-area businesses, many of which use AI tools in hiring. These tools generally rank resumes and filter out low-quality applicants.
