Independent Bias Audits of Criteria's Assessment Platform

New York City’s Automated Employment Decision Tools (AEDT) law establishes a set of process and transparency requirements for employers using A.I. based hiring tools.
Under the law, AEDT users will need to:
- Use an AEDT that has been independently audited for bias.
- Let candidates know that the AEDT is being used.
- Provide candidates with access to a summary of the Bias Audit results.
- Give candidates the opportunity to request an alternative selection process.
Criteria actively engaged with the City on the law, including submitting expert testimony to the Committee responsible for drafting the law’s regulations. Although this law does not apply outside of the United States of America, we support New York City in promoting best-practice transparency requirements.
Independent auditing helps Criteria ensure that our selection system is free from unfair systems of bias. Criteria requests independent audits of our assessments annually. We use the results to guide the development of our assessment products.
