Highlights: The White House issued draft rules today that would require federal agencies to evaluate and constantly monitor algorithms used in health care, law enforcement, and housing for potential discrimination or other harmful effects on human rights.

Once in effect, the rules could force changes in US government activity dependent on AI, such as the FBI’s use of face recognition technology, which has been criticized for not taking steps called for by Congress to protect civil liberties. The new rules would require government agencies to assess existing algorithms by August 2024 and stop using any that don’t comply.

      I’m only “wrong” because others are reading something other than what I said. I’m gratified that at least one person understood though.

        No, people are responding to what you said. Maybe what you wrote doesn’t impart your meaning as well as you thought it does.
