Employers’ use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in making hiring and other employment decisions is drawing increased scrutiny. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) published guidance on how employers’ use of AI tools may violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the New York City Council enacted a new law mandating a yearly bias audit of the tools, along with certain notice requirements. In light of this heightened focus, companies should carefully evaluate their use of AI tools to ensure they are compliant with current requirements.
