Six months ago, New York City enacted a law requiring companies to disclose their use of AI algorithms in hiring decisions, and to audit their software annually to identify potential race and gender biases, with the results to be posted on the career sections of their websites. Cornell University Researchers analyzed 391 employers with headquarters or large operations in the city and found just 18 had posted the required audit reports as of early January.
The researchers said it was "challenging, time-consuming, and frustrating" to find notices of the audit results.
Cornell's Jacob Metcalf attributed the low compliance to the fact that employers are given "almost unlimited discretion" to determine whether they fall within the law's scope.
