Editorial notes

Company overview

Aon Assessment Solutions is the talent-assessment business Aon built around its 2017 acquisition of cut-e, a psychometric-testing firm founded in Hamburg in 2002. It runs tens of millions of assessments a year across roughly 90 countries, anchored by a strong industrial/organizational-psychology research tradition. Its product line spans ability and skills tests, the ADEPT-15 personality model, gamified cognitive assessments (smartPredict, gridChallenge), job simulations, and vidAssess-AI, an asynchronous video-interview tool that uses natural-language processing to transcribe and score spoken responses against competencies. AI is used both to score gamified/adaptive assessments and to drive the video-scoring layer.

Regulatory exposure

Aon carries unusually high regulatory exposure for a hiring vendor. In late 2023 the ACLU filed class-wide EEOC charges, and on 29 May 2024 a formal FTC complaint, alleging that ADEPT-15, vidAssess-AI, and gridChallenge are deceptively marketed as 'bias-free,' 'fair,' and having 'no adverse impact' while in fact posing a high risk of discrimination against autistic, neurodivergent, and Black applicants. As an AI-driven hiring tool, the assessment suite is squarely 'high-risk' under EU AI Act Annex III, and the AEDTs are subject to NYC Local Law 144 bias-audit obligations and Illinois/Colorado AI-hiring rules. Despite this, Aon publishes no public bias audit, no model/system cards, and no EU AI Act conformity or deployer documentation for these products.

Path to a higher score

Aon could move from its current position by publishing what its scale and I/O-psychology research already support: independent, downloadable NYC LL 144 bias-audit summaries (auditor, date, intersectional impact ratios) for ADEPT-15, gridChallenge, and vidAssess-AI; per-product model/system cards and Article 11-style technical documentation with explicit adverse-impact and validity disclosures; an EU AI Act statement with Article 27 FRIA/deployer guidance; ISO 42001 or an AI-specific trust center; an exclusion-list and data-governance disclosure; and a public model-update changelog and incident channel. Concretely resolving the ACLU/FTC/EEOC allegations and replacing absolute 'bias-free' marketing with audited, evidence-backed fairness claims would materially raise every score.

Regulatory frame

What applies to assessment AI.

Assessment is the most-regulated surface in AI hiring. NYC LL 144, EEOC and OFCCP frameworks, Illinois HB 3773, and EU AI Act Annex III §4 all apply, with overlap on bias-audit obligations.
