New York City wants to restrict artificial intelligence in hiring
New York City is trying to rein in the use of algorithms used to screen job applicants. It's one of the first cities in the U.S. to try to regulate what is an increasingly common -- and opaque -- hiring practice. The city council is considering a bill that would require potential employers to notify job candidates about the use of these tools, referred to as "automated decision systems." Companies would also have to complete an annual audit to make sure the technology doesn't result in bias. The move comes as the use of artificial intelligence in hiring skyrockets, increasingly replacing human screeners.
