Common Sense Media applauds Senator Markey's AI Civil Rights Act as a critical step toward protecting individuals’ fundamental rights in our ever changing digital world. As AI becomes a powerful force shaping decisions in education, healthcare, employment, and other areas that impact the day to day lives of kids, families and all consumers, this legislation will help ensure that AI tools are developed and deployed in ways that promote equity and accountability. By establishing essential guardrails, this bill will protect the most vulnerable groups from bias and discrimination while supporting equal access to opportunities. Unverified source (2024)
