The Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2025 aims to increase transparency and accountability surrounding the use of algorithms by large companies. It directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to require impact assessments of ‘covered algorithms,’ which are computational processes that significantly affect consumer decisions. The bill establishes regulations for these assessments, focusing on fairness, privacy, and potential negative impacts, and it also creates a framework for ongoing monitoring and reporting by covered entities.
