Officials vow to use civil rights laws to combat biased AI.

Federal regulators from various agencies in the Biden administration have announced plans to enforce existing civil rights laws against AI systems that perpetuate discrimination, as concerns about bias in American society continue to grow. With AI increasingly being used to make decisions about hiring, credit, housing, and other services, regulators are concerned about the risk of "digital redlining" and the perpetuation of racial disparities. The officials promised to use existing law to combat those harms and called rapid AI development a "new civil rights frontier."
