Authority & Methodology

How we interpret NYC LL144 and EU AI Act requirements

Regulatory Interpretation Framework

Our compliance documentation is built on the HAIEC Framework (Human-AI Employment Compliance), a structured methodology for interpreting and implementing AI employment regulations.

Source Materials

• NYC Local Law 144 (2021) - Official text and amendments
• NYC DCWP guidance documents and FAQs
• EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) - Final adopted text
• EU Commission implementing acts and guidelines
• EEOC guidance on AI in employment decisions

We do not provide legal interpretation. Our templates reflect regulatory requirements as written, with conservative assumptions where guidance is ambiguous.

Audit Assumptions

Our documentation assumes regulators will evaluate:

Completeness

All required artifacts are present and dated

Specificity

Documentation references actual systems, not generic statements

Evidence Trail

Decisions are supported by documented analysis

Timeliness

Audits and assessments are current (within required timeframes)

Conservative Approach

Where regulatory guidance is unclear or evolving, we default to more comprehensive documentation. It's easier to have extra evidence than to reconstruct it during an audit.

Independence Posture

What we are:

✓Documentation specialists focused on regulatory compliance
✓Template providers based on regulatory requirements
✓Validation reviewers for completeness and formatting

What we are NOT:

✗A law firm or legal service provider
✗An independent bias auditor (as defined by LL144)
✗A certification body or regulatory authority
✗Responsible for your compliance outcomes

Important: You are responsible for ensuring your documentation is accurate and complete. We provide templates and validation, but final compliance is your responsibility.

Disclaimers

No Legal Advice: Nothing on this site or in our documentation constitutes legal advice. Consult with a qualified attorney for legal guidance.

No Guarantee of Compliance: While our templates are based on regulatory requirements, we cannot guarantee regulatory acceptance. Compliance outcomes depend on your specific implementation and circumstances.
