BABL AI is a lead third-party firm that ensures AI systems comply with the ever changing AI regulation landscape. The Independent Third-Party Audits follow globally recognized assurance engagement standards, similar to financial auditing.



Challenge
Given the quickly-evolving AI policy landscape, companies are looking to stay compliant locally and globally, while also being competitive. 
Work
As a certified independent auditor, I support BABL to audit companies in compliance with New York City Local Law 144. I also support assurance engagements related to the Digital Services Act, NIST AI Risk Management Framework Readiness and ISO / IEC 42001 Certification

New York City Local Law 144 requires employers using automated employment decision tools (AEDTs) in hiring to conduct bias audits of these tools.
