How could you prove discrimination if you can't audit the decision making system? The article mentions NY regulations regarding bias audits in systems used to make hiring decisions as one casualty of this new law.
> New York's 2021 law mandating bias audits for AI tools used in hiring decisions would also be affected, 404 Media notes.

- dymk 1y agoOh cool all I have to do is go sue a giant bank, I’ll let you know how that goes
- tantalor 1y agoJust change the law to mandate bias audits for all hiring decision software, whether it is automated or not.
- Smeevy 1y agoWouldn't that changed law encompass the automated software as well, thereby being in violation? I am not a lawyer, but the ridiculously broad language in the spending bill doesn't seem to leave much room for that sort of thing.
- tantalor 1y agoThe spending bill thing says the law can't target X, so you target a superset of X instead. Suppose the bill said "no laws about horses!". Okay then if you want to make a law regulating the manufacture of horse shoes, you target the law to "odd-toed ungulates" instead.
