The FTC, for example, reminded companies it may be illegal for them “to use automated tools that have discriminatory impacts, to make claims about AI that are not substantiated, or to deploy AI before taking steps to assess and mitigate risks.”
The EEOC reminded people that the “Americans with Disabilities Act applies to the use of software, algorithms, and AI to make employment-related decisions about job applicants and employees.”and the Justice Department’s guidance last year about the potential for algorithm-based application processes to discriminate against people with disabilities.
CFPB, which seeks to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions, said federal laws around lending and credit remain intact with regard to AI tools, adding that “the fact that the technology used to make a credit decision is too complex, opaque, or new is not a defense for violating these laws.”
And the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division noted its purview includes law enforcement in several arenas that stand to be influenced by AI, “including in education, the criminal justice system, employment, housing, lending, and voting.” The AI industry is undoubtedly running wild. This letter is an indication of the government’s efforts to rein it in.
