As the AI regulatory landscapes evolves, protecting a growing range of characteristics is no longer optional—it's essential.
The NYC Bias Audit Law (Local Law 144) mandates employers and employment agencies using Automated Employment Decision Tools (AEDTs) within New York City undergo an annual, third-party bias audit. These audits evaluate AEDTs for potential bias across protected characteristics such as race/ethnicity, and sex. The law was enacted in 2021, went into effect on January 1, 2023, and began enforcement on July 5, 2023.
AEDTs must undergo an annual bias audit conducted by an independent auditor.
Employers must publicly disclose the results of these audits.
AEDTs must undergo an annual bias audit conducted by an independent auditor.

Employers and employment agencies in New York City using AEDTs in hiring or promotion decisions.
Automated Employment Decision Tool (AEDT) is any software, algorithm, or AI system used to assist or automate decision-making in employment-related processes.
A bias audit is an independent evaluation of an Automated Employment Decision Tool (AEDT) by a third-party to assess whether it produces discriminatory outcomes based on protected characteristics such as race, ethnicity, or sex.
Non-compliance can result in $500 to $1,500 fines per violation. Each day an AEDT is used without a required bias audit or without proper candidate notification is considered a separate violation.
