Virginia is on the verge of becoming the second state to implement comprehensive legislation aimed at regulating high-risk artificial intelligence systems. The High-Risk Artificial Intelligence Developer and Deployer Act (H.B. 2094) has passed the state senate and is awaiting the governor's signature. If enacted, the law will impose new compliance obligations on businesses using AI for consequential decisions, particularly in employment contexts.
The legislation emphasizes the need for businesses to exercise reasonable care when deploying AI systems that could lead to algorithmic discrimination. It sets a higher threshold for what constitutes a high-risk AI system compared to similar laws in other states, focusing on the principal basis of decision-making. This proactive approach aims to enhance transparency and protect consumers from potential biases in AI-driven processes.
