New York City Local Law 144: Automated Employment Decision Tools

New York City enacted Local Law 144, which requires employers and employment agencies using automated employment decision tools (AEDTs) to conduct annual bias audits and publish the results on their websites before using such tools. Covered employers must also notify candidates and employees when AEDTs are used in employment decisions. The law, which took effect on July 5, 2023 after enforcement delays, is one of the most comprehensive municipal AI employment regulations in the United States and is enforced by the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection.
