What US DOJ-EEOC-CFPB-FTC Joint Statement on Enforcement Efforts Against Discrimination and Bias in Automated Systems (April 25, 2023) requires
On April 25, 2023 the heads of four US federal civil rights and consumer protection agencies issued a Joint Statement on Enforcement Efforts Against Discrimination and Bias in Automated Systems. The signatories are the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division (Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (Chair Charlotte A. Burrows), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Director Rohit Chopra), and the Federal Trade Commission (Chair Lina M. Khan). The Joint Statement makes three principal points: (1) Existing federal laws including the Civil Rights Acts, ADA, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, FTC Act Section 5, and CFPB UDAAP authority apply to automated systems and AI; (2) Automated systems present challenges including data and design flaws (training data unrepresentative, datasets reflecting historical bias), opaque models making discrimination hard to detect, and design choices that may not account for relevant context; (3) The four agencies pledge to coordinate enforcement against discrimination and bias in automated systems and to use the full range of existing authorities. The Joint Statement remains the operative interagency civil rights enforcement baseline for AI in the US and underpins subsequent enforcement actions including the FTC Rite Aid case (December 2023), EEOC iTutorGroup settlement (2023), and CFPB Circular 2022-03 enforcement posture.
