White House Releases Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights — October 4, 2022
OSTP published a blueprint outlining five principles to protect civil rights and democratic values in automated systems.
The blueprint articulates rights to safe and effective systems, algorithmic discrimination protections, data privacy, notice and explanation, and human alternatives. It includes technical guidance, policy toolkit resources, and case studies for sectors such as hiring, health care, and housing.
- Safety and effectiveness. Developers should conduct testing and independent evaluation before deployment.
- Algorithmic discrimination protections. Agencies are urged to audit datasets, mitigate bias, and provide recourse.
- Notice and explanation. The blueprint recommends clear disclosures and accessible explanations for automated decisions.
Product, legal, and compliance teams can map the blueprint’s principles to model risk management controls and impact assessment templates.
