Impactful Policy Frameworks
New York City Local Law 144 (2023)
This law requires employers using automated employment decision tools (AEDTs) in NYC to conduct annual bias audits and publish the results, as well as provide notice to candidates and employees.
This directly impacts iCIMS by requiring their AI-powered tools to undergo bias audits and for iCIMS to support their clients in meeting disclosure requirements, potentially influencing product development for explainability.
California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) (2023)
Building on CCPA, CPRA expands consumer data privacy rights, including the right to correct personal information and opt-out of sharing, and establishes the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA).
iCIMS and its clients must ensure robust data handling practices for candidate and employee data, potentially impacting data retention, consent mechanisms, and data access/deletion features within their platform.
Proposed EU AI Act (expected 2024/2025)
While an EU regulation, its extraterritorial reach means it will impact companies processing data of EU citizens; it categorizes AI systems by risk level, with 'high-risk' systems (like those in HR) facing stringent requirements.
Although not a US policy, its global influence means iCIMS may need to align its AI development with these comprehensive standards for transparency, data governance, and human oversight to serve international clients.
