The US Publishes AI Bill of Rights - Competition Policy International

The White House unveiled its Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, which identifies five guidelines for the design, use, and deployment of automated and artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools to protect Americans from harm as the use of these technologies continues to grow in multiple industries. The blueprint outlines five core principles: safe and effective systems, algorithmic discrimination protections, data privacy, notice and explanation, and human alternatives, consideration, and fallback. These are intended to serve as practical guidance for the US government, tech companies, researchers, and other stakeholders, but the blueprint is nonbinding and does not constitute regulatory policy. The guidelines apply to AI and automated tools across industries, including healthcare, and are part of a larger conversation around the ethical use of AI. Under the five principles, Americans should be protected from unsafe and ineffective systems; not face discrimination by algorithms, which should be used and designed in an equitable way; and be protected from abusive data practices via built-in safeguards and have agency over how their data is used.
