About & Methodology

How we research, interpret, and present NYC LL144 and EU AI Act requirements

Our Approach

NYC144EUAIAct.com is a free informational resource that breaks down AI compliance regulations into plain English. We cite primary sources for every claim and update content as regulations and enforcement guidance evolve. This site is maintained by Subodh KC. For automated compliance tooling, see HAIEC. Editorial content is independent of HAIEC's commercial products.

Primary Sources We Reference

• NYC Administrative Code §§ 20-870 through 20-874 (Local Law 144)
• NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) Final Rules
• EU Regulation 2024/1689 (EU AI Act) — Official Journal of the EU
• EEOC Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (29 C.F.R. § 1607)
• NYS Comptroller Audit Report 2024-N-6 (December 2025)
• Cornell / HR Brew compliance estimates (April 2026)

We do not provide legal advice. Our guides reflect regulatory requirements as written, with conservative interpretations where guidance is ambiguous.

Content Standards

Every guide and tool on this site follows these standards:

Primary Source Citations

Every regulatory claim links to the official source text

Plain English

Legal requirements explained without jargon, with worked examples

Current Dates

Enforcement deadlines and timelines reflect the most recent regulatory updates

No Fake Numbers

Penalty ranges, audit costs, and compliance rates come from cited sources

Conservative Approach

Where regulatory guidance is unclear or evolving, we default to the more comprehensive interpretation. It's better to over-prepare than to reconstruct evidence during an investigation.
