The Artificial Intelligence Civil Rights Act of 2025 extends civil rights protections to people affected by artificial intelligence systems used in major life decisions, such as hiring, housing, education, criminal justice, and government benefits. The law prohibits developers and deployers of AI algorithms from using these systems in discriminatory ways or causing unfair impacts based on protected characteristics like race, sex, disability, and national origin, while requiring independent audits before deployment and annual impact assessments afterward. Companies must submit evaluations to the Federal Trade Commission, publicly disclose their AI practices in plain language, maintain human appeal options for consequential decisions, and protect whistleblowers from retaliation. Enforcement is handled by the FTC (with up to 500 new staff members), state attorneys general, and individuals who can sue directly without restrictions on class actions, with penalties reaching up to $15,000 per violation or 4 percent of annual revenue. The law does not preempt existing labor, health, safety, or other federal and state protections.
