Beyond Compliance An HR Tech Startup’s Journey to Trust and Transparency

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.

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.

AdeptID’s quest for compliance and trust led them to Credo AI, a leader in Responsible AI Governance. Leveraging Credo AI’s Responsible AI Governance Platform, AdeptID found a comprehensive solution to address LL-144 and other emerging AI regulations. This platform offers a robust framework for AI system governance, enabling AdeptID to conduct technical assessments of their data and models, generate Compliance Reports, and implement human-in-the-loop reviews.
