What this bill would do

The Artificial Intelligence Civil Rights Act of 2025 seeks to establish protections for individual rights regarding computational algorithms. It prohibits developers and deployers from using covered algorithms in ways that cause disparate impacts or discrimination based on protected characteristics during consequential actions. The bill requires mandatory pre-deployment evaluations and annual impact assessments to identify and mitigate potential harms. It also establishes standards for transparency through required disclosures and a public repository of assessments. Enforcement is granted to the Federal Trade Commission, State attorneys general, and individuals through a private right of action.
