New York is currently leading the race in regulating HR Tech. New York City Local Law 144, which was enforced on 5 July 2023, requires enterprises to obtain bias audits of automated employment decision tools (AEDTs) and New York State has proposed two assembly bills targeting automated employment decision tools.
