Summary
This bill would establish an office of algorithmic accountability. The office would be responsible for working with city agencies to promote transparency and accountability, by analyzing algorithmic tools used by city agencies, conducting pre-deployment assessments of the risks associated with the intended use of algorithmic tools; creating a public-facing platform that provides a mechanism for the submission of comments and questions by the public about a specific algorithmic tool used by an agency; establishing a protocol for receiving complaints from members of the public about the city’s use of algorithmic tools; and conducting corrective action related to the city’s use of an algorithmic tool. The bill would also require the office to report to the council and the mayor a summary of the results of such assessments of algorithmic tools used by City agencies.
