Reply to comment by Background-Net-4715 in NYC's AI bias law is delayed until April 2023, but when it comes into effect, NYC will be the first jurisdiction mandating an AI bias order in the world, revolutionizing the use of AI tools in recruiting by Background-Net-4715

Seems reasonable but it's good that it's made public. It will be important to see what "bias" exactly means in this context.

Yes definitely - that's part of what's causing the delay. Companies will need to explain what goes into their algorithms, what decisions are made in the model, what the accuracy rate is, who made the model, and so on. It seems complicated but I guess it's because it's the first law of its kind.

5 will get you 10 that "discriminatory outcomes" will define if the AI has "bias" as opposed to the actual programming.

I think it'll be easy to test with a bunch of resumes of different races and genders equally spread along a qualification spectrum.

Just have it pick from this test set and if the results are statistically tilted in any way it fails.
