Federal AI Oversight: Ensuring Responsible, Accountable, and Bias-Free Government Technology.

This Act establishes new roles and councils within the federal government to ensure Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used responsibly, securely, and in compliance with civil rights. This means government AI systems (used, for example, for processing applications) must be free from bias, protect privacy, and guarantee accountability for flawed decisions impacting individuals. The goal is to increase public trust in AI technologies used by federal agencies.
Key points
Creation of a Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (CAIO) in every agency to manage AI risk and ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards, including civil rights protection.
Establishment of a CAIO Council to set government-wide standards for AI safety, transparency, and privacy protection across all federal operations.
Agencies must continuously monitor deployed AI systems to identify and mitigate potential harm, bias, or infringement on civil liberties, ensuring accountability for flawed decisions.
