Federal agencies that use certain computer programs would get new offices to stop bias affecting people's lives.
This bill would require certain federal agencies that use or oversee advanced computer programs, like those with artificial intelligence, to create special civil rights offices. These offices would focus on preventing unfairness and discrimination caused by these programs. This change aims to protect people from bias based on things like race, gender, or age when interacting with government services or opportunities.
Today, covered federal agencies are not explicitly required to have dedicated civil rights offices focused on bias in their covered algorithms. This bill would change that by mandating that covered agencies establish such offices, staffed with experts. These covered agencies would also be required to submit reports to Congress every two years and participate in a new interagency working group led by the Department of Justice.
