La veille de la cybersécurité

Legislation introduced last week would require companies to assess the impact of AI and automated systems they use to make decisions affecting people's employment, finances, housing and more. The Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2022, sponsored by Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, would give the FTC more tech staff to oversee enforcement and let the agency publish information about the algorithmic tech that companies use. In fact, it follows an approach to AI accountability and transparency already promoted by key advisers inside the FTC. Algorithms used by social media companies are often the ones in the regulatory spotlight. However, all sorts of businesses -- from home loan providers and banks to job recruitment services -- use algorithmic systems to make automated decisions.
