Summary

The bill creates a new regulatory framework for "covered" automated decision systems (ADS) that influence important outcomes for individuals. It requires developers to supply detailed performance and impact information to users, and obligates those users (deployers) to give affected people notice, a chance to correct personal data, and clear explanations of how the system was used. The goal is to prevent discriminatory or harmful impacts from AI‑driven decisions.
