Bias Audit
Independent Bias Audit
An impartial evaluation by an independent auditor that includes testing an AEDT for disparate impact based on race, ethnicity, and sex. The audit examines selection rates, scoring rates, or other outputs to identify potential discrimination.
Why This Matters for Employers
NYC Local Law 144 requires annual bias audits before using an AEDT. Audits must be conducted by independent third parties and results must be publicly posted.
