AI Summary

This bill, the Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2022, directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to require impact assessments of automated decision systems and augmented critical decision processes used by large companies. The bill defines key terms like "automated decision system," "augmented critical decision process," and "covered entity" (large companies that meet certain thresholds). It requires covered entities to perform impact assessments on their automated systems and processes, maintain documentation, and submit summary reports to the FTC. The FTC must then publish an annual report on the information from these reports and establish a publicly accessible repository to inform consumers about the use of such systems and processes. The bill also authorizes the FTC to take enforcement action against violations and coordinate with other federal and state agencies on consistent regulatory treatment of these technologies.
