United States — Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights

Published1 October 2022

Issued by White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).

Summary

The Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights was a non-binding United States federal framework for protecting the public from harmful automated systems. Published by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in 2022, it identified five civil protections: safe and effective systems, algorithmic discrimination protections, data privacy, notice and explanation, and human alternatives, consideration, and fallback. The blueprint helped frame AI governance as a civil rights and public protection issue before later federal executive action and agency implementation.
