At their quarterly meeting held today in Alpena, the Michigan Civil Rights Commission passed a resolution to establish a set of guiding principles for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in Michigan, according to a Monday news release from the commission. They also passed a resolution in support of SB 205-207, bills that would prohibit discrimination in housing based on source of income.
Some specific principles called for in the guidelines include:
∫ Legislation to prevent algorithmic discrimination in the use of AI systems.
∫ Protections from privacy violations through AI design which creates or perpetuates inequity and bias.
∫ A designated task force established to determine and monitor that data collection conforms to reasonable expectations and that only data strictly necessary for the specific context is collected.
∫ The ability for people to opt out of AI-empowered automated systems in favor of a human alternative, with necessary accommodations for persons with disabilities.
The commission also unanimously passed a resolution in support of SB 205-207, bills currently in the Michigan Senate that would prohibit source of income discrimination in housing.
