The New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection has proposed amendments to Local Law 144, which mandates independent bias audits of AI-powered tools used for screening, hiring or promoting candidates or employees residing in NYC. The amendments clarify the definition of an independent auditor, which must be a group or person not involved in developing or using an automated tool, and which further outlines the selection rate and impact ratio for different races/ethnicities and sexes that an audit must examine. Employers and employment agencies must publish the summary of results on their website for at least six months after the relevant tool was last used. The law will take effect on 5 July 2023.
