We, the undersigned civil, technology, labor, consumer, transparency, accountability, and human rights groups, call upon the Biden-Harris administration to make the White House Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights (AI Bill of Rights) binding U.S. government policy for the federal government’s use of AI systems in the forthcoming AI Executive Order (AI EO). We agree in particular that AI tools must be demonstrated to be safe and effective and free from algorithmic discrimination, two of the core principles of the AI Bill of Rights. This is a central and vital concern for a broad group of organizations and for the American public, and an absolute requirement for the deployment of AI tools and systems by the federal government.
