workplace artificial intelligence tool
NYC steps into regulation of workplace artificial intelligence tools
New York City will become the latest jurisdiction to regulate an employer's use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other "automated employment decision tools" in screening job candidates. The law is intended to curb bias in hiring and promotion decisions. Effective January 2, 2023, employers and employment agencies will be prohibited from using automated decision tools for screening employment or promotion candidates unless: (1) the tool has undergone an independent bias audit no more than one year prior to its use; and (2) certain information relating to the audit results is made publicly available on the employer's or employment agency's website. Additionally, companies will be required to notify employees or job applicants whether an AI tool was used to make employment decisions (amongst other notice requirements). NYC's law comes on the heels of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) announcement in October 2021 of an initiative to examine how AI technology is "fundamentally changing" the way employment decisions are made.
