Plain-English Summary

This bill would require companies and government agencies to test their computer algorithms and artificial intelligence systems to make sure they don't unfairly discriminate against people based on race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics. If an algorithm is found to have bias, organizations would need to fix it or stop using it. The law would affect businesses that use AI for hiring, lending, criminal justice decisions, and other important services that impact people's lives.
