Five Principles

Within the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, you will find five principles:

  • Safe and Effective Systems: “You should be protected from unsafe or ineffective systems.”
  • Algorithmic Discrimination Protections: “You should not face discrimination by algorithms and systems should be used and designed in an equitable way.”
  • Data Privacy: “You should be protected from abusive data practices via built-in protections and you should have agency over how data about you is used.”
  • Notice and Explanation: “You should know that an automated system is being used and understand how and why it contributes to outcomes that impact you.”
  • Human Alternatives, Consideration, and Fallback: “You should be able to opt out, where appropriate, and have access to a person who can quickly consider and remedy problems you encounter.”
