The purpose of the Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act of 2026 is to address and reduce bias and discrimination that may arise from the use of algorithms by government agencies. The legislation aims to ensure that these agencies are held accountable for the potential harms caused by algorithmic decision-making processes, particularly those that could negatively impact individuals based on certain protected characteristics. Key provisions of the Act require that any government agency that uses or oversees algorithms must establish an office of civil rights.
