Prohibits use of automated systems in employment decisions without human review; requires employer notification and review requests.

New York A09601 amends the labor law to prohibit employers from using automated systems to make employment decisions without a meaningful human review of the system's output. Employers must notify applicants of the use of such systems and describe the data analyzed and the human reviewer's role. Applicants who receive adverse decisions can request a human-conducted review. The commissioner can enforce the provisions and issue fines or cease-and-desist orders for violations.
