AEDT

Automated Employment Decision Tool

Any computational process, derived from machine learning, statistical modeling, data analytics, or artificial intelligence, that issues simplified output, including a score, classification, or recommendation, that is used to substantially assist or replace discretionary decision making for employment decisions that impact natural persons.

Why This Matters for Employers

AEDTs are the central focus of NYC Local Law 144 and similar regulations. If your AI hiring tool falls under this definition, you likely need bias audits and candidate notifications.
