Executive summary: Discrimination requirements for AI aim to prevent algorithmic bias and unfair treatment based on protected characteristics, and while some legislation exists, more work is needed to establish effective regulatory policies and practices.
Key points:
AI discrimination can perpetuate societal biases in high-stakes decision making like hiring, lending, and criminal justice.
Governments are starting to pass laws to prevent AI discrimination, but translating principles into practice is still an emerging area.
China’s 2023 generative AI regulations include non-specific language requiring compliance with anti-discrimination policies.
The EU AI Act classifies potentially discriminatory AI systems as high-risk and bars them from discrimination in various domains.
The US government has issued non-binding initiatives like the AI Bill of Rights and an Executive Order directing agencies to publish guidance on preventing AI discrimination.
Challenges remain in mitigating bias, proving algorithmic discrimination, and establishing legal boundaries and required evaluation practices.
