Senators Markey and Schumer express concerns that unchecked AI algorithms may exacerbate discrimination, emphasizing that safeguards are critical when algorithms inform consequential decisions across various sectors.
"The stakes - and harms - are especially high where entities use algorithms to make 'consequential decisions,' such as an individual's application for a job, their treatment at a hospital..."
Markey and Schumer commend the Biden administration for efforts to curb algorithmic discrimination but stress that more resources are needed to empower agencies in safeguarding civil rights.
"Without new protections, today's supercharged, AI-powered algorithms risk reinforcing and magnifying the discrimination that marginalized communities already experience due to poorly-trained algorithms."
