On April 15, 2023, the New York City Bias Audit Law will take effect, affecting all businesses using automated tools that aid employment decisions.
Meaning that businesses, from April 15, 2023, must:
- Conduct annual third-party bias audits of automated employment decision tools used to make decisions about candidates residing in New York City.
- Give notice to candidates about the use of an automated tool and the characteristics it will use to make a decision.
- Ensure all staff are informed about the NYC Bias Audit Law and their obligation to comply.
This includes systems based on machine learning, statistical modelling or data analytics and typically includes resume screening, AI video interviews, and game-based or psychometric assessments.
Join us for an in-depth discussion on what these requirements mean in practice. We'll cover the following:
- The broader shift to a risk management approach to AI - Similar rules exist or are under development in the EU and other US states.
- The current rules, based on two public hearings and extensive written comments.
- The metrics: how to calculate them, the pitfalls, and challenges.
- Transparency requirements: how to communicate your audit results.
