Protecting Against Discrimination by Automated Systems

This bill aims to stop government agencies, businesses, and employers from using computer systems that unfairly treat people based on their race, religion, sex, or other protected traits. It prohibits discrimination and requires transparency about how these systems work. This means you should be treated fairly when applying for jobs, accessing public services, or interacting with government, regardless of how automated systems are used.
Key points
Government decisions using automated systems must not discriminate against citizens.
Businesses and employers cannot use automated systems that discriminate in services or hiring.
Rules will be created to check automated systems for bias and make information public.
New standards will be developed for identifying and reporting bias in automated systems.
