The NYC Bias Audit Mandate

The New York City Bias Audit Law (Local Law 144) was enacted by the NYC Council in November 2021.
From 15th April 2023, companies are prohibited from using automated tools to hire candidates or promote employees, unless the tools have been independently audited for bias. These regulations are likely to affect hundreds of organisations within the city and may include your own.

Independent bias audit for the NYC Bias Audit mandate.

Ensure you’re compliant with the new NYC bias audit requirements with a fully independent and impartial audit from Holistic AI. Our solution is fully scalable, suitable for any size of organisation.

Prepare a bias audit report

We conduct an independent bias audit, in line with the NYC bias audit law requirements, to examine whether your system is discriminating against any protected categories, such as gender, sex, ethnicity, or race.

Bias assessment per system, including, but not limited to:  

  • Disparate impact analysis on persons (e.g., candidates, employees)
  • Per component 1 protected categories (e.g., gender, ethnicity, race)

Our findings from the bias audit report are collated into a summary of results, including the selection rates and impact ratios of protected categories, to be shared on your company website, as required by the NYC regulations.
