What it demands

What the law demands of AEDTs.

NYC Local Law 144 governs the use of Automated Employment Decision Tools for candidates and employees in New York City. An AEDT may not be used to substantially assist or replace a hiring or promotion decision without an independent bias audit within the prior year.

The audit results, the data-source and retention information, and a notice to candidates and employees must be public or provided in time for the person to request an alternative.

What Hael does for it

Three things Hael does for LL144.

01
Classifies
Each people-decision system is screened for AEDT status against §5-301 — whether it substantially assists or replaces a hiring or promotion decision.
02
Generates
The bias-audit brief for the independent auditor, the public summary of results, the candidate notice and the data-source disclosure — produced from the record and versioned.
03
Keeps current
The audit runs to the annual cadence. The public summary, the notices and the source pages are updated together — never one without the others.

One record · many regimes
The record through-line

One record. LL144 alongside every other regime.

An AEDT entered once is governed under LL144 and against the EU AI Act, the GDPR, NIST AI RMF and any state-level AI law that applies — the same record, the same controls, the same evidence.

Artefact proof

The public bias-audit summary, generated and held.

The summary cites the audit firm, the audit date, the categories tested and the impact ratios. Where the audit covered a smaller distribution than the law requires, the section is held open until the next audit closes it.
