Bias & Fairness

Preventing AI from treating people unfairly based on protected characteristics.

Explainer

Civil-rights laws apply to AI. Discrimination that is illegal when done by a person is still illegal when done by an algorithm. New AI laws add requirements for bias assessments, particularly in hiring, credit, housing, and healthcare.

What this means for you

You have the same civil-rights protections against AI-driven discrimination as against human discrimination — and sometimes stronger ones.

Practical tips

  • ✓If an AI decision seems linked to race, gender, age, or disability, document it.
  • ✓Know that agencies like the EEOC, CFPB, HUD, FTC, and state attorneys general take AI-bias complaints.
