Requires employers and employment agencies to notify candidates for employment if machine learning technology is used to make hiring decisions prior to the use of such technology.

This bill requires employers and employment agencies in New York to inform job candidates if they are using machine learning technology to help make hiring decisions. Candidates must be notified before this technology is used in the hiring process. The goal is to ensure transparency in how hiring decisions are made.

Supporters of the bill argue that it promotes fairness and transparency in the hiring process. By informing candidates about the use of machine learning, it empowers them to understand how their applications are evaluated, potentially reducing bias and discrimination in hiring.

Critics of the bill may argue that it could create unnecessary hurdles for employers and complicate the hiring process. They might contend that the requirement to notify candidates could lead to confusion and that companies should have the flexibility to use technology without added regulatory burdens.
