Artificial Intelligence Civil Rights Act of 2024

The Artificial Intelligence Civil Rights Act of 2024 requires developers and deployers of AI systems that impact key life areas (such as employment, housing, healthcare, credit, and education) to conduct pre-deployment evaluations and annual impact assessments by independent auditors. The bill mandates transparency through public disclosure of AI practices and creates individual rights to request human alternatives for AI-driven decisions and to appeal AI outcomes. Enforcement will be handled by the Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general, and through private lawsuits. This legislation aims to prevent AI systems from causing discriminatory harm or disparate impacts in critical life areas while ensuring accountability for developers and deployers.
