AI Compliance & Litigation FAQs

Lieb at Law, P.C. helps businesses audit, defend, and legally align their AI tools to comply with laws preventing algorithmic discrimination in real estate, hiring, education, and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can Lieb at Law, P.C. help ensure our company’s AI doesn’t violate discrimination laws?

Lieb at Law, P.C. conducts comprehensive bias audits of AI and machine learning systems to ensure legal compliance. We evaluate data sources, decision logic, vendor contracts, and internal policies to mitigate risk before a regulator or plaintiff steps in.

What laws apply to AI discrimination in hiring, housing, or customer targeting?

AI tools must comply with Title VII, the ADA, Fair Housing Act, and state-specific regulations like NY Executive Law §296 and NYC Local Law 144. These laws cover employment, housing, education, advertising, and credit-related decisions.

Is my business at risk if we use third-party AI vendors?

Yes. Companies remain legally liable for biased outcomes—even when using third-party tools. Lieb at Law, P.C. reviews contracts for indemnity language, bias reporting requirements, and audit access so you're protected from vendor risk.

What is an AI bias audit, and does Lieb at Law perform them?

An AI bias audit is a legal review of how algorithms impact protected classes. Lieb at Law, P.C. uses its proprietary 10-Step Bias Elimination Audit to test for disparate impact and advise on legal remedies before discriminatory outcomes become liabilities.

Can Lieb at Law defend us if we’re sued over AI discrimination?

Yes. We defend clients in federal and state litigation involving AI bias claims, disparate impact, and privacy misuse. Our team develops legal strategy, deposes AI developers, challenges expert witnesses, and protects your business reputation.

Do we need to disclose our use of AI in hiring or housing decisions?

In many jurisdictions—especially NYC—yes. Disclosure is legally required under Local Law 144. Lieb at Law, P.C. helps businesses comply with transparency mandates, candidate notifications, and audit recordkeeping.

Does our AI need to be reviewed annually to stay compliant?

Yes. AI systems evolve, and so do the laws. We recommend annual audits and contract reviews to ensure continued compliance with federal anti-discrimination statutes and local disclosure laws.

How do we get started with an AI compliance risk assessment?

Lieb at Law, P.C. starts with a discovery call and system mapping. We analyze your AI stack, third-party vendors, data pipelines, and intended uses, and then provide legal recommendations tailored to your industry and risk profile.

Does this apply if our AI doesn’t use race, gender, or age as input?

Yes. Even if protected traits aren’t used, proxy variables often lead to discriminatory results. We test for hidden bias and offer legal guidance to help prevent disparate impact before it triggers a lawsuit or government investigation.

We’re not a tech company — do we still need this?

Yes. Real estate brokerages, HR departments, schools, and lenders use AI—even if unintentionally. If you use algorithms for decision-making, advertising, or lead generation, you're exposed to AI liability. We help protect you.

Do you provide CLE or corporate training on AI risk?

Yes. Lieb at Law, P.C. offers CLE programs and corporate workshops on “Avoiding Discrimination in AI.” We train attorneys, HR professionals, and compliance leaders to identify risks and align internal protocols with emerging law.
