A provision titled 'Civil Rights and Algorithms' was originally intended to implement protections against biased decision-making, but its removal eliminates specific text preventing discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability.
Omissions in the bill include provisions empowering the FTC to oversee improper data use, mandating algorithm impact assessments by data holders, and notifying users of algorithm use.
The removal of key sections was attributed to partisan disagreements, according to a spokesperson from the Energy and Commerce Committee, signaling ongoing efforts to include comprehensive algorithmic accountability.
