Full Legal Analysis
Bill S05641 introduces a new Article 20-D to the New York labor law, establishing criteria for the use of automated employment decision tools. It defines key terms such as 'artificial intelligence,' 'automated employment decision tool,' and 'consequential employment decision.' The bill prohibits deployers from using these tools in a manner that violates anti-discrimination laws and requires annual impact assessments to evaluate risks and benefits. Developers must provide deployers with documentation on the tool's intended use and limitations. Both deployers and developers must implement governance programs to manage risks of unlawful discrimination. The bill mandates transparency by requiring deployers to notify individuals when such tools are used in employment decisions. The New York Attorney General is empowered to enforce compliance, with provisions for investigation and notice of violations.
