Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act of 2026
Plain Language Summary
# Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act of 2026 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill aims to reduce discriminatory bias in artificial intelligence and algorithmic decision-making systems used by businesses and government. If passed, it would establish requirements for companies and agencies to test, monitor, and disclose how their AI systems might unfairly impact people based on protected characteristics like race, gender, or disability. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily impact technology companies, financial institutions, employers, and government agencies that use AI systems for consequential decisions—such as hiring, lending, criminal justice, housing, and healthcare. It would also indirectly affect consumers and workers who rely on these systems, potentially giving them more protections against algorithmic discrimination. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee (HR 7110, 119th Congress), meaning it has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House.
It was introduced by Representative Summer Lee (D-PA). No further action has been taken, and the bill has not been scheduled for hearings or debate.
