NYC AI law news, Local Law 144 updates and AEDT audit resources.
Verified NYC AI regulation, Local Law 144 developments, primary-source analysis, statistical methodology and practical tools — with explicit legal status labels and review dates.
News, proposed legislation, current rules and guides are labeled differently.
AUDITLL144 does not treat every government development as a change in Local Law 144. We separate source status from our analysis so readers can tell what is legally in force, what is only proposed, and what is explanatory guidance.
News / verified development
A dated event supported by a primary source, such as an enacted law, government audit, enforcement action or agency update. The article states what happened without converting a development into a broader rule.
Proposed legislation
A bill, introduction or committee-stage proposal that is not yet enacted. Proposal pages keep that status explicit and do not describe the proposal as current law.
Current law / official guidance
In-force statutory or regulatory requirements, plus clearly identified agency guidance. Primary authority is linked and the effective legal status is kept separate from commentary.
Guide / source analysis
Our explanation of scope, methodology, enforcement evidence or operational controls. Guides identify their primary sources, article publication date and the date of the latest legal review.
Enforcement, current rules, NYC AI-law developments and audit research in one source-controlled hub.
The AUDITLL144 Observatory separates current law from proposals, government oversight from adjudicated violations, and public evidence from AUDITLL144 methodology. It is designed as a starting point for source discovery rather than a public-company compliance score.
| Observatory layer | What it contains | Go to |
|---|---|---|
| Current rules | Statute, DCWP rules, FAQ and official complaint guidance. | Official sources |
| Enforcement & oversight | Verified government audits and status-controlled enforcement developments. | Enforcement tracker |
| NYC AI-law developments | Enacted measures, proposed legislation, hearings and agency developments. | Latest developments |
| Audit research | Methodology, sample outputs, evidence controls and public educational tools. | Methodology |
What does the Observatory track?
Government audits, complaints, investigations, enforcement actions, settlements, civil penalties, enacted laws, proposed legislation and guidance are kept as distinct status categories.
What does it not claim?
A potential issue found in public materials is not automatically an adjudicated violation. AUDITLL144 does not publish automatic “compliance scores” from incomplete website observations.
What are the research rules?
Primary sources are preferred, dates and authorities are recorded, proposals remain labeled as proposals, and public methodology does not expose proprietary implementation logic.
What comes next?
A public-summary research dataset may be added only after the source universe, classification rules, limitations and update policy are documented.
Public audit publication snapshot: 2025–2026
This research snapshot is a curated recent-date slice of the ACLU/NYCLU crowd-sourced Local Law 144 bias-audit tracker, limited to records with explicit audit dates in 2025 or 2026 that were present in the source on October 3, 2026. It is designed for source discovery and publication-pattern research, not for deciding whether any company is legally compliant.
