U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., announced the introduction of the Algorithmic Accountability Act, which aims to "bring new transparency and oversight of software, algorithms and other automated systems." The bill calls on companies to conduct impact assessments for bias, effectiveness and other factors within automated decision tools to make critical decisions. The Federal Trade Commission would host a public repository for systems and be allocated resources to add 75 staff members to enforce the law.
