Artificial Intelligence Civil Rights Act of 2025 (H.R. 6356)

By U.S. Congress.

Summary: Proposed federal legislation establishing civil-rights protections against algorithmic discrimination.

Relevance: Central to the Law, Policy & Borders subdomain: a live federal bill that would set enforceable civil-rights obligations on AI systems used in employment, housing, and credit decisions, relevant to social workers advocating for clients affected by algorithmic gatekeeping.

Key findings: Per third-party bill-tracking summaries (the bill text itself blocked automated fetching), the bill would require pre-deployment bias assessments for AI used in consequential decisions, mandate notification when an AI system is used to decide about someone, guarantee a right to request human review in place of an algorithmic decision, and create a federal occupational series for algorithm auditing. Reviewer should confirm precise language against the official bill text.
