Took effect January 1, 2023, with enforcement beginning July 5, 2023. Requires employers and employment agencies in New York City to conduct independent bias audits of AI tools used in hiring decisions, publish audit results, and notify candidates that automated decision tools are being used.
If you use any AI tool to screen, rank, or select job candidates for positions in New York City — including resume screening, video interview analysis, or skill assessment tools — you must commission an independent bias audit annually, publish the results, and notify applicants. Enforcement has been thin so far: a December 2025 New York State Comptroller audit called DCWP's enforcement system ineffective, noting only two AEDT complaints between July 2023 and June 2025 and 17 instances of potential non-compliance at 32 companies reviewed that DCWP had missed. Commentators read that as a sign of higher risk ahead, not lower.
Civil penalty of $500 for a first violation and each additional violation on the same day, and $500 to $1,500 for each subsequent violation; enforced by the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection
Rite Aid deployed facial recognition AI in hundreds of stores to flag suspected shoplifters. The system disproportionately misidentified people of color, women, and younger individuals as threats — causing them to be wrongly accused, followed, and publicly embarrassed in stores. Rite Aid failed to ensure the AI system was accurate and did not take reasonable steps to prevent misidentification harm.
Outcome: FTC banned Rite Aid from using AI facial recognition in retail settings for 5 years. Company required to delete all facial images collected, develop a comprehensive AI governance program, and implement meaningful accuracy testing before using any AI surveillance tool.
