Artificial Intelligence Civil Rights Act of 2025

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar companies that build or use artificial intelligence and similar computer programs from using them in ways that discriminate based on traits such as race, sex, disability, or age in decisions about jobs, housing, health care, credit, education, elections, and other important areas. Before using such a program, companies would have to evaluate whether it could cause harm and, if so, hire an independent auditor, with deployers also reviewing results each year and sending the evaluations to the Federal Trade Commission. Companies would have to publish disclosures and short notices about their programs, offer a way to report violations, and could not retaliate against people or whistleblowers. The Federal Trade Commission would write rules on when people can opt out for a human decision or appeal to a human, and would enforce the law alongside states and individuals.
