The Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights is a United States policy framework for protecting people when automated systems affect their lives. It offers principles rather than enforceable directives, leaving practical implementation uncertain. section 10.29
Its five principles call for:
- Safe and effective systems, supported by evaluation and risk mitigation. section 10.29
- Algorithmic discrimination protections that identify potential bias. section 10.29
- Data privacy, including information and agency over data collection. section 10.29
- Notice and explanation about automated-system use. section 10.29
- Human alternatives, consideration, and fallback when people opt out or systems make mistakes. section 10.29
The framework remains deliberately broad: it says explanations should be technically valid, meaningful, useful, and calibrated to risk, but does not specify how to implement them. The AI Risk Management Framework later reaffirmed its principles. section 10.29
