@politico Matt Scherer: “The bill is not perfect in Colorado by any stretch of the imagination. I still think that, for example, its enforcement provisions are too weak ... but I think that the Colorado bill provides enough to be a good starting point.” https://www.politico.com/...

How all the bills under consideration in US states meant to address AI bias contain loopholes that would make it too easy for companies to avoid accountability

AI is potentially transformative.  Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on whether we set the right rules.

Bills pending in CT, CA, CO & others are not strong enough to protect workers / consumers, containing weak enforcement provisions, poor disclosure requirements, & major loopholes that would allow companies to hide their use of #AI & evade regulation. https://www.politico.com/...

Companies often use #AI when making these decisions w/o ever telling affected workers / consumers, using systems frequently prone to errors & bias. CDT-led Civil Rights Standards provide one example of a roadmap for effective AI regulation (in employment): https://cdt.org/...

Bills are pending in at least 11 states that purport to address companies' increasing use of #AI to decide who gets a job, housing, or medical care - including in Connecticut, where @CenDemTech testified regarding a sweeping AI bill pending in Hartford. https://cdt.org/...

Notably, key parts of the bills appear to come from industry-backed model legislation. It's possible for policymakers to fix flaws in them, but time is running short w/ several state legislative sessions wrapping up in a matter of days. https://therecord.media/...
