On July 5, 2023, New York City implemented what many hailed as a landmark achievement in algorithmic accountability. Local Law 144, discussed in the previous chapter, passed after years of advocacy. This law required every employer in the city using automated employment decision tools to conduct independent bias audits and publicly post the results. The law mandated transparency notices to job seekers and gave applicants the right to request a human review instead of algorithmic screening. It was the first legislation of its kind in the world—a bold experiment in democratic oversight of artificial intelligence that other jurisdictions watched closely, eager to learn from America’s most populous city.
