NYC Local Law 144, NY State Bar AI guidance, and the SHIELD Act create one of the most complex AI regulatory environments in the country. I help law firms, healthcare practices, financial advisors, and SMBs across the New York area implement AI that works within these requirements.
New York leads on AI regulation with city-level enforcement, state privacy requirements, and aggressive financial oversight. Here's what New York businesses need to know.
Automated employment decision tools require annual bias audits by independent auditors, published results, and 10 business days notice to candidates. Penalties up to $1,500 per violation.
