Officials at four U.S. agencies warned Tuesday they are prepared to act against bias or discrimination that involves artificial intelligence (AI).
A joint statement issued by Rohit Chopra, director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB); Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division; Charlotte Burrows, chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; and Lina Khan, chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), said existing laws against discrimination apply to the use of automated systems, including AI.
