The bill expresses the State of Washington's commitment to President Biden's vision for safe and nondiscriminatory artificial intelligence. It outlines the fundamental civil rights and liberties of residents, emphasizing the importance of privacy, equal opportunities, and access to critical resources. The bill acknowledges the challenges posed by advanced technology and automated systems, which can lead to unsafe, biased, or discriminatory outcomes in various sectors, including healthcare and employment. It also recognizes the potential benefits of these systems, such as increased efficiency and transformative impacts on society.

Furthermore, the bill highlights key principles from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy that should guide the design and deployment of automated systems. These principles include protection from unsafe systems, prevention of discrimination, safeguarding against abusive data practices, ensuring transparency in the use of automated systems, and providing individuals with the option to opt out in favor of human alternatives. The resolution calls for the examination and implementation of these principles in Washington's legislation and policies regarding automated systems. Copies of the memorial will be sent to key federal officials, including President Biden and members of Congress from Washington.
