The Need for AI Governance

In December 2021, the New York City Council passed Local Law No. 144 (LL-144), mandating that AI and algorithm-based technologies for recruiting, hiring, or promotion be audited for bias before being used. The law, reflecting a growing trend of regulation around Automated Employment Decision Tools, stipulates steep penalties for non-compliance.

The Challenge

‍

Navigating the complexities of LL-144, however, poses significant challenges for companies seeking to adapt. AdeptID, a pioneer of AI-powered talent-matching software, faced this very dilemma. The company, committed to fair and transparent AI practices, urgently needed to ensure its continuous compliance with LL-144 to avoid legal consequences and boost customer trust.

The Solution: Streamlined AI compliance

‍

Crucially, the Platform provides a Policy Pack for LL-144 that encodes the law’s principles into actionable requirements. A Policy Pack describes a modular element in the Platform that articulates governance requirements (such as laws, regulations, standards, and internal organization policies) to assess your AI system. The third-party review conducted by Credo AI added a layer of reliability and credibility to AdeptID’s compliance efforts.

“Working with the Credo AI platform accelerated our ability to be compliant with the EU AI Act by at least 10x the speed of trying to do it manually. When it comes to high-risk AI... using an AI governance platform like Credo AI is paramount."
