H.R.5511

Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2025 mandates impact assessments for algorithms affecting critical consumer decisions.

The Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2025 requires the Federal Trade Commission to mandate impact assessments for algorithms that make critical decisions affecting consumers. These assessments must be conducted by entities deploying such algorithms, both before and after deployment. The act defines "covered algorithms" as computational processes used in consequential actions, including those derived from machine learning or artificial intelligence. Covered entities must document their impact assessments and submit summary reports to the Commission annually.
