Establishing Data Protection Agency to Regulate AI, Privacy, and Combat Data Discrimination.
This Act establishes the independent Data Protection Agency (DPA) to shield citizens from harm caused by the collection and processing of their personal data. The DPA will oversee large data aggregators, focusing on high-risk practices like automated decision systems (AI) that impact employment, credit, and housing access. Citizens gain new rights to access, correct, and delete their data, backed by substantial financial penalties for non-compliant companies.
