Booker, Wyden, Clarke Introduce Bicameral Bill to Regulate Use of Artificial Intelligence to Make Critical Decisions like Housing, Employment and Education

Press Release

Date: Sept. 21, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Science, Technology and Communication

"Americans do not forfeit their civil liberties when they go online. But when corporations with vast resources continue to allow their AI systems to carry biases against vulnerable groups, the reality is that countless have and will continue to face prejudice in digital spaces. No longer can lines of code remain exempt from our anti-discrimination laws. My bill recognizes that every algorithm has an author and every bias has an origin and that, through proper regulation, we can ensure safety, inclusion, and equity are truly priorities in critical decisions affecting Americans' lives."
