Establishing a commission on automated decision-making by government in the commonwealth
AI Summary
This bill establishes a commission within the Executive Office of Technology Services and Security to study and make recommendations on the use of automated decision systems by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The commission will survey the current use of such systems, consult with experts, examine research on disparate outcomes, and explore technical, legal, and policy controls to improve the just and equitable use of these systems. The commission will submit annual reports with findings and recommendations for regulatory or legislative action, including on areas where the Commonwealth should not use automated decision systems, and on policies and procedures to ensure transparency, accountability, and due process protections.
