Government watchdogs are increasingly urging employers to tread carefully when using artificial intelligence in the hiring process due to concerns about employment discrimination.
AI is rapidly transforming the HR landscape. From screening applicants and tracking candidates to drafting internal messages and analyzing facial cues during video interviews, its capabilities continue to expand. However, the integration of AI into hiring practices is now under growing regulatory scrutiny.
In a landmark move, New York City implemented the country’s first law in 2023 that requires companies to perform yearly bias audits on AI-based hiring tools. Shortly after, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission released official guidance for employers on how to assess these tools for discriminatory outcomes.
To help HR professionals stay compliant, we’ve compiled a live directory of U.S. states, cities, and jurisdictions that have enacted laws governing the use of AI in recruitment. Each entry outlines the key requirements, effective dates, and includes links to the original legislation and our related news coverage.
