As detailed in Part 2 of our series, New York City first passed the Automated Employment Decision Tool (AEDT) law in December 2021, making it unlawful for employers to use automated decision tools to screen individuals for employment decisions unless the law’s requirements regarding notice, auditing and reporting are satisfied. Specifically, the law requires conducting and publishing an annual bias audit, providing notice to any applicants or employees subjected to an automated decision tool and collecting and retaining AEDT data.
