Navigating the New Wave of AI Bias Audits and Regulation in Employment Decisions

In response to New York City’s recent Local Law 144, several cities and states have been advancing requirements to conduct bias audits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automated Employment Decision Tools (AEDT). The move has been catalyzed by growing consciousness about the role of AI in the workplace and its potential to perpetuate unintentional discrimination. It ushers in a wave of increased scrutiny and potential regulation.

Key pieces of legislation such as California’s Assembly Bill 331, District Columbia’s Bill 114, New Jersey’s Assembly Bill 4909, and Connecticut 1103 are spearheading this change. Among the specific requirements of these proposed laws are mandatory disclosure and audit requirements for employers. Meeting these new standards of accountability is becoming a significant challenge for employers to ensure compliance.

To shed light on these critical issues, DCI Consulting will host a Webinar on Bias Audits in AI and Automated Employment Decision Tools on October 18th, from 2:00 pm to 2:30 pm EDT. This session will be led by DCI’s Bre Timko and Sarah…

While the full guest list has not yet been revealed, the inclusion of experts from DCI will guarantee decision-makers and legal professionals a better understanding of the evolving legal landscape. Topics expected to be discussed during the session include strategies for conducting bias audits, the implications of non-compliance, and practical tips for navigating these new requirements.

As the regulatory environment around AI and AEDT becomes more complex., it is crucial for legal professionals and businesses to remain abreast of the rapidly shifting landscape. This much-needed webinar will serve as an essential guide for those looking to navigate these developing compliance challenges, and to better understand the wider implications of these laws for their operations.
