🤖🎉 Ah yes, because what the world really needs is yet another tedious academic paper on how hiring algorithms are as diverse as a #monoculture of potatoes. Bravo! After meticulously studying 3.4 million applicants, we’ve confirmed that different employers using the same algorithm isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. 🙄🔍

#USA #NYC #AI #Algorithms #HiringAlgorithms #AIBias: "A study into the effectiveness of a New York City law targeting bias in AI hiring algorithms has found the legislation is largely ineffective.

New York City Local Law 144 (LL144) was passed in 2021, came into effect as on January 1 last year and has been enforced as of July 2023. The law requires employers using automated employment decision tools (AEDTs) to audit them annually for race and gender bias, publish those results on their websites, and include notice in job postings that they use such software to make employment decisions.

The study from researchers at Cornell University, nonprofit reviews service Consumer Reports, and the nonprofit Data & Society Research Institute, is as yet to be published but was shared with The Register. It found that of 391 employers sampled, only 18 had published audit reports required under the law. Just 13 employers (11 of whom also published audit reports) included the necessary transparency notices."
