It is used to screen job candidates or assess employees.Claims of discrimination involving AEDT use should go to the NYC Commission on Human Rights. Companies using artificial intelligence to hire or promote workers in the city must now comply with its AI-in-hiring law.

The initiative's goal is to guide employers, employees, job applicants, and vendors to ensure that these technologies are used fairly and consistently. Employers must conduct internal assessments to see what tools they are using that may qualify as an AEDT under the NYC law. An NYC law that aims to limit bias in hiring and recruitment algorithms has gone into effect after repeated delays.
