The Algorithm Accountability Act

The Algorithm Accountability Act is proposed legislation aimed at increasing transparency and oversight of automated decision-making systems used by companies. It would require organizations to evaluate and disclose how their algorithms impact access to services, employment, credit, and other areas, ensuring they do not cause unfair bias or discrimination. The law seeks to hold companies accountable for the fairness and accuracy of their algorithms, encouraging responsible development and deployment of these tools to protect consumers and promote ethical technology use.
