What this bill does
H.R. 10092, the "Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act of 2024," proposes that federal agencies which use, fund, or oversee certain complex computational processes, known as "covered algorithms," must establish an office of civil rights. This office would focus on identifying and addressing bias, discrimination, and other harms that could arise from these algorithms. The bill defines covered algorithms as those using machine learning, artificial intelligence, or similar technologies that can impact access to agency programs, economic opportunities, or protected rights.
Under this bill, these newly established civil rights offices would be required to submit reports to Congress every two years. These reports would detail the current state of algorithms within the agency's jurisdiction, outlining risks and steps taken to mitigate harms. They would also cover stakeholder engagement and any recommendations for legislative or administrative action. Additionally, the bill calls for the creation of an interagency working group on algorithms and civil rights, with representatives from each covered agency's civil rights office.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on November 1, 2024, and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Accountability. The official CRS summary indicates that similar legislation was introduced in a previous session of Congress but did not receive a vote. If passed by Congress and signed into law, the bill would authorize necessary appropriations for agencies to implement its provisions.
