Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act of 2026

This bill would require every federal agency that uses, funds, buys, oversees, or regulates certain computer algorithms, such as those using artificial intelligence or machine learning, to have an office of civil rights. That office would employ experts and technologists focused on bias, discrimination, and other harms linked to traits such as race, sex, disability, age, income, or veteran status. Each office would report to Congress within one year and every two years after that on algorithm risks, steps the agency has taken, outreach to stakeholders, and recommendations. The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division would set up an interagency working group on algorithms and civil rights, and Congress would be authorized to fund these activities.
