New York City passed a law aimed at reducing bias in automated employment decisions, which comes into effect on January 1, 2023. The NYC Automated Employment Decision Tool Law places compliance obligations on employers in New York City that use AI tools. Accordingly, companies should pay close attention to any AI tools or algorithms being used in the hiring process to ensure that they are compliant with these emerging requirements.

Similar laws are likely to be enacted in other jurisdictions. The European Union (EU) has proposed to regulate the use of AI in HR, which could impose similar obligations on service providers and employers.

Avi Gesser and Anna Gressel from Debevoise, along with Nicolette Nowak from Beamery, examine the latest regulations from New York City and what service providers can be doing to help their customers with compliance.

in 45 minutes, we explore:

  • Why the new regulations are being introduced
  • The requirements & implications for organizations
  • What this means for AI application providers
  • Beamery’s AI compliance initiatives
