Plain-English Summary

This bill would require companies and government agencies to test their computer algorithms and artificial intelligence systems for bias and discrimination before using them to make decisions about hiring, lending, housing, or other important services. If algorithms are found to unfairly disadvantage people based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics, organizations would have to fix the problems or stop using them. The law would primarily affect tech companies, financial institutions, employers, and government agencies that rely on automated decision-making systems.
