State Lawmakers Propose New Bills to Prevent AI Bias and Discrimination
-
State lawmakers are proposing bills to regulate AI bias and discrimination, filling a void left by lack of federal oversight.
-
AI is already being used to make decisions in hiring, housing, healthcare, and more, often without people's knowledge.
-
AI can perpetuate discrimination by learning bias from historical data it's trained on. Amazon's hiring algorithm favored male applicants.
-
Proposed bills would require impact assessments showing how AI is used and risks of bias, with some requiring opt-out options.
-
Experts say the proposals are a start but more auditing and transparency is needed to truly identify and fix discrimination.
