The concern: Algorithms, not just in New York but around the country, were increasingly being employed by government agencies to do everything from informing criminal sentencing and detecting unemployment fraud to prioritizing child abuse cases and distributing health benefits. And lawmakers, let alone the people governed by the automated decisions, knew little about how the calculations were being made.<\/p>\n<p>Rare glimpses into how these algorithms were performing were not comforting: In several states, algorithms used to determine how much help residents will receive from home health aides have <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/3\/21\/17144260\/healthcare-medicaid-algorithm-arkansas-cerebral-palsy\">automatically cut benefits<\/a> for thousands. Police departments across the country use the PredPol software to predict where future crimes will occur, but the program <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/news\/crime-prediction-software-promised-to-be-free-of-biases-new-data-shows-it-perpetuates-them\">disproportionately sends police<\/a><a> to Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. And in Michigan, an algorithm designed to detect fraudulent unemployment claims famously improperly flagged thousands of applicants, forcing residents who should have received assistance to <\/a><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/news\/local\/news\/government-artificial-intelligence-midas-computer-fraud-fiasco4407901002\/\">lose their homes and file for bankruptcy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>New York City\u2019s was the first legislation in the country aimed at shedding light on how government agencies use artificial intelligence to make decisions about people and policies.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the creation of the task force was heralded as a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/algorithmic-bias-accountability-bill-passes-in-new-york-city-2017-12\">\u201cwatershed\u201d moment<\/a> that would usher in a new era of oversight. And indeed, in the four years since, a steady stream of reporting about the harms caused by high-stakes algorithms has prompted lawmakers across the country to introduce nearly 40 bills designed to study or regulate government agencies\u2019 use of ADS, according to The Markup\u2019s review of state legislation.<\/p>\n<p>The bills range from proposals to create study groups to requiring agencies to audit algorithms for bias before purchasing systems from vendors. But the dozens of reforms proposed have shared a common fate: They have largely either died im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely upon introduction or expired in committees after brief hearings, according to The Markup\u2019s review.<\/p>\n<p>In New York City, that initial working group took two years to make a set of broad, nonbinding recommendations for further research and oversight. One task force member described the endeavor as a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/20974379nyc-algorithm-task-force-report-de-blasio\">\u201cwaste.\u201d<\/a> The group <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/assets\/adstaskforce\/downloads\/pdf\/ADS-Report-11192019.pdf\">could not even agree on a definition<\/a> for automated decision systems, and several of its members, at the time and since, have said they did not believe city agencies and officials had bought into the process.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, nearly all proposals to study or regulate algorithms have failed to pass. Bills to create study groups to examine the use of algorithms failed in Massachusetts, New York state, California, Hawaii, and Virginia. Bills requiring audits of algorithms or prohibiting algorithmic discrimination have died in California, Maryland, New Jersey, and Washington state. In several cases\u2014California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Vermont\u2014ADS oversight or study bills remain pending in the legislature, but their prospects this session are slim, according to sponsors and advocates in those states.<\/p>\n<p>The only state bill to pass so far, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/legislature.vermont.gov\/bill\/status\/2018\/H.378\">Vermont\u2019s<\/a>, created a task force whose recommendations\u2014to form a permanent AI commission and adopt regulations\u2014have so far been ignored, state representative Brian Cina told The Markup.<\/p>\n<p>The Markup interviewed lawmakers and lobbyists and reviewed written and oral testimony on dozens of ADS bills to examine why legislatures have failed to regulate these tools.<\/p>\n<p>We found two key through lines: Lawmakers and the public lack fundamental access to information about what algorithms their agencies are using, how they\u2019re designed, and how significantly they influence decisions. In many of the states The Markup examined, lawmakers and activists said state agencies had rebuffed their attempts to gather basic information, such as the names of tools being used.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Big Tech and government contractors have successfully derailed legislation by arguing that proposals are too broad\u2014in some cases claiming they would prevent public officials from using calculators and spreadsheets\u2014and that requiring agencies to examine whether an ADS system is discriminatory would kill innovation and increase the price of government procurement.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lawmakers_Struggled_to_Figure_Out_What_Algorithms_Were_Even_in_Use\"><\/span><strong>Lawmakers Struggled to Figure Out What Algorithms Were Even in Use<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges lawmakers have faced when seeking to regulate ADS tools is simply knowing what they are and what they do.<\/p>\n<p>Following its task force\u2019s landmark report, New York City conducted a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/assets\/ampo\/downloads\/pdf\/AMPO-CY-2020-Agency-Compliance-Reporting.pdf\">subsequent survey<\/a> of city agencies. It resulted in a list of only 16 automated decision systems across nine agencies, which members of the task force told The Markup they suspect is a severe underestimation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t actually know where government entities or businesses use these systems, so it\u2019s hard to make [regulations] more concrete,\u201d said Julia Stoyanovich, a New York University computer <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> professor and task force member.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Vermont became the first state to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/legislature.vermont.gov\/Documents\/2018\/Docs\/ACTS\/ACT137\/ACT137%20As%20Enacted.pdf\">create its own ADS study group<\/a>.

It has sat in committee without a hearing since then.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, the Hawaii Senate <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capitol.hawaii.gov\/Archives\/measure_indiv_Archives.aspx?billtype=SR&amp;billnumber=142&amp;year=2019\">passed a resolution<\/a> requesting that the state convene a task force to study agency use of artificial intelligence systems, but the resolution was nonbinding and no task force convened, according to the Hawaii Legislative Reference Bureau. Legislators tried to pass a binding resolution again the next year, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capitol.hawaii.gov\/Archives\/measure_indiv_Archives.aspx?billtype=HB&amp;billnumber=1185&amp;year=2020\">but it failed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Legislators and advocacy groups who authored ADS bills in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, and Washington told The Markup that they have no clear understanding of the extent to which their state agencies use ADS tools.<\/p>\n<p>Advocacy groups like the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) that have attempted to survey government agencies regarding their use of ADS systems say they routinely receive incomplete information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe results we\u2019re getting are straight-up non-responses or truly pulling teeth about every little thing,\u201d said Ben Winters, who leads EPIC\u2019s AI and Human Rights Project.<\/p>\n<p>In Washington, after an ADS regulation bill failed in 2020, the legislature created a study group tasked with making recommendations for future legislation. The ACLU of Washington proposed that the group should survey state agencies to gather more information about the tools they were using, but the study group rejected the idea, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/watech.wa.gov\/privacy\/projects-and-initiatives\">public minutes<\/a> from the group\u2019s meetings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe thought it was a simple ask,\u201d said Jennifer Lee, the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> and liberty project manager for the ACLU of Washington. \u201cOne of the barriers we kept getting when talking to lawmakers about regulating ADS is they didn\u2019t have an understanding of how prevalent the issue was. They kept asking, \u2018What kind of systems are being used across Washington state?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lawmakers_Say_Corporate_Influence_a_Hurdle\"><\/span><strong>Lawmakers Say Corporate Influence a Hurdle<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Washington\u2019s most recent bill has stalled in committee, but an updated version will likely be reintroduced this year now that the study group has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/watech.wa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/public\/privacy\/Automated%20Decision%20Systems%20Workgroup%20Report.pdf\">completed its final report<\/a>, said state senator Bob Hasegawa, the bill\u2019s sponsor<\/p>\n<p>The legislation would have required any state agency seeking to implement an ADS system\u00a0 to produce an algorithmic accountability report disclosing the name and purpose of the system, what data it would use, and whether the system had been independently tested for biases, among other requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The bill would also have banned the use of ADS tools that are discriminatory and required that anyone affected by an algorithmic decision be notified and have a right to appeal that decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe big obstacle is corporate influence in our governmental processes,\u201d said Hasegawa. \u201cWashington is a pretty high-tech state and so corporate high tech has a lot of influence in our systems here. That\u2019s where most of the pushback has been coming from because the impacted communities are pretty much unanimous that this needs to be fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>California\u2019s bill, which is similar, is still pending in committee. It encourages, but does not require, vendors seeking to sell ADS tools to government agencies to submit an ADS impact report along with their bid, which would include similar disclosures to those required by Washington\u2019s bill.<\/p>\n<p>It would also require the state\u2019s Department of Technology to post the impact reports for active systems on its website.<\/p>\n<p>Led by the California Chamber of Commerce, 26 industry groups\u2014from big tech representatives like the Internet Association and TechNet to organizations representing banks, insurance companies, and medical device makers\u2014signed on to a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/21153469-ab-13-sen-floor-alert-coalition-oppose\">letter<\/a> opposing the bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of business interests here, and they have the ears of a lot of legislators,\u201d said Vinhcent Le, legal counsel at the nonprofit Greenlining Institute, who helped author the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, the Greenlining Institute and other supporters sought to regulate ADS in the private sector as well as the public but quickly encountered pushback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we narrowed it to just government AI systems we thought it would make it easier,\u201d Le said. \u201cThe argument [from industry] switched to \u2018This is going to cost California taxpayers millions more.\u2019 That cost angle, that innovation angle, that anti-business angle is something that legislators are concerned about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The California Chamber of Commerce declined an interview request for this story but provided a copy of the letter signed by dozens of industry groups opposing the bill. The letter states that the bill would \u201cdiscourage participation in the state procurement process\u201d because the bill encourages vendors to complete an impact assessment for their tools. The letter said the suggestion, which is not a requirement, was too burdensome. The chamber also argued that the bill\u2019s definition of automated decision systems was too broad.<\/p>\n<p>Industry lobbyists have repeatedly criticized legislation in recent years for overly broad definitions of automated decision systems despite the fact that the definitions mirror those used in internationally recognized <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ainowinstitute.org\/aiareport2018.pdf\">AI ethics frameworks<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tbs-sct.gc.ca\/pol\/doc-eng.aspx?id=32592&amp;section=html#appA\">regulations in Canada<\/a>, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/?uri=CELEX%3A52021PC0206\">proposed regulations<\/a> in the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>During a committee hearing on Washington\u2019s bill, James McMahan, policy director for the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, told legislators he believed the bill would apply to \u201cmost if not all\u201d of the state crime lab\u2019s operations, including DNA, fingerprint, and firearm analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Internet Association lobbyist Vicki Christophersen, testifying at the same hearing, suggested that the bill would prohibit the use of red light cameras. The Internet Association did not respond to an interview request.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a funny talking point,\u201d Le said. \u201cWe actually had to put in language to say this doesn\u2019t include a calculator or spreadsheet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maryland\u2019s bill, which died in committee, would also have required agencies to produce reports detailing the basic purpose and functions of ADS tools and would have prohibited the use of discriminatory systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not telling you you can\u2019t do it [use ADS],\u201d said Delegate Terri Hill, who sponsored the Maryland bill. \u201cWe\u2019re just saying identify what your biases are up front and identify if they\u2019re consistent with the state\u2019s overarching goals and with this purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Maryland Tech Council, an industry group representing small and large technology firms in the state, opposed the bill, arguing that the prohibitions against discrimination were premature and would hurt innovation in the state, according to written and oral testimony the group provided.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ability to adequately evaluate whether or not there is bias is an emerging area, and we would say that, on behalf of the tech council, putting in place this at this time is jumping ahead of where we are,\u201d Pam Kasemeyer, the council\u2019s lobbyist, said during a March committee hearing on the bill. \u201cIt almost stops the desire for companies to continue to try to develop and refine these out of fear that they\u2019re going to be viewed as discriminatory.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limited_Success_in_the_Private_Sector\"><\/span><strong>Limited Success in the Private Sector<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There have been fewer attempts by state and local legislatures to regulate private companies\u2019 use of ADS systems\u2014such as those The Markup has exposed in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/news\/access-denied-faulty-automated-background-checks-freeze-out-renters\">tenant screening<\/a><a> and <\/a><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/themarkup.org\/news\/car-insurance-suckers-list\">car insurance industries<\/a><a>\u2014but in recent years, those measures have been marginally more successful.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The New York City Council passed a bill that would require private companies to conduct bias audits of algorithmic hiring tools before using them.
