While a number of AI systems have been found to discriminate, tipping the scales in favor of certain races, genders or incomes, there’s scant government oversight.
Those bills, along with the over 400 AI-related bills being debated this year, were largely aimed at regulating smaller slices of AI.
The use of AI to make consequential decisions — what the bills call “automated decision tools” — is pervasive but largely hidden.
