Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2019 This bill requires specified commercial entities to conduct assessments of high-risk systems that involve personal information or make automated decisions, such as systems that use artificial intelligence or machine learning. Specifically, high-risk automated decision systems include those that (1) may contribute to inaccuracy, bias, or discrimination; or (2) facilitate decision-making about sensitive aspects of consumers' lives by evaluating consumers' behavior. Further, an automated-decision system, or information system involving personal data, is considered high-risk if it (1) raises security or privacy concerns, (2) involves the personal information of a significant number of people, or (3) systematically monitors a large, publicly accessible physical location. Assessments of high-risk automated-decision systems must (1) describe the system in detail, (2) assess the relative costs and benefits of the system, (3) determine the risks to the privacy and security of personal information, and (4) explain the steps taken to minimize those risks, if discovered. Assessments of high-risk information systems involving personal information must evaluate the extent to which the system protects the privacy and security of such information.

Uighur Intervention and Global Humanitarian Unified Response Act of 2019 or the UIGHUR Act of 2019 This bill imposes sourcing restrictions and export controls related to China's mass detention of the Uyghurs, a predominantly Muslim Turkic ethnic group in Xinjiang province. Executive agencies shall not procure goods or services from foreign persons who in the last three years substantially facilitated or knowingly assisted such mass detention. When procuring goods or services from U.S. persons, executive agencies shall provide adverse consideration to awarding contracts to those involved with such mass detention, and assess the availability of other sources. The President may waive these restrictions for national security or national interest purposes. The Department of Commerce shall deny applications to export to China various technologies, including those related to artificial intelligence or biometrics, unless the applicant certifies that the technology will not be knowingly used to facilitate the mass detention of Turkic Muslims. The Department of State shall ensure that certain U.S. diplomatic facilities in China can provide services in the Uyghur language. The State Department shall establish a website for reporting harassment or surveillance of persons in the United States by Chinese representatives or agents, and procedures for sharing such reports with law enforcement agencies. This bill directs various agencies to report on specified topics, including China's development of technologies related to mass detection and surveillance.

Mme Graziella Melchior interroge Mme la ministre du travail sur le retard français en gestion prévisionnelle de l'emploi pour s'adapter aux mutations technologiques. Une récente étude du cabinet de conseils Mercer pointe le retard de la France en gestion prévisionnelle de l'emploi pour s'adapter aux mutations technologiques. Bien que de nombreux métiers soient appelés à disparaître au gré des mutations technologiques, les entreprises françaises anticipent trop peu l'évolution de leurs besoins en emploi. Le constat de Mercer est étayé par les conclusions du World Economic Forum , selon lequel les salariés français sont les plus mal armés face à l'avènement de l'intelligence artificielle. Ils comptent aussi au sein des pays de l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE) parmi les actifs les moins nombreux à avoir suivi une formation au cours des douze derniers mois. Elle aimerait connaître les solutions prévues par le Gouvernement pour combler le retard pointé par ce rapport.

Mme Marie Tamarelle-Verhaeghe interroge M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur la possibilité de se doter d'un instrument juridique international, posant les principes fondamentaux en matière de biomédecine. Actuellement, « la convention pour la protection des droits de l'Homme et de la dignité de l'être humain à l'égard des applications de la biologie et de la médecine » plus communément appelée « convention d'Oviedo », adoptée en 1997 par le conseil de l'Europe est le seul texte à portée internationale sur le sujet. Dans son rapport intitulé « Le recours aux nouvelles technologies génétiques chez les êtres humains » examiné en octobre 2017 par le conseil de l'Europe, la sénatrice belge Petra de Sutter, estimant que les dispositions de la « convention d'Oviedo » étaient désormais insuffisantes, recommandait la mise en place d'une nouvelle réglementation internationale pour se prémunir de toute dérive éthique. Les avancées technologiques récentes, notamment la technologie Crispr-Cas9, des ciseaux génétiques permettant de modifier des gènes choisis, et dont le potentiel serait encore à 90 % inexploité, font craindre que l'absence de cadre international ne conduise certains pays à devenir des déserts réglementaires. Dans le même temps, les risques de marchandisation du corps humain, via le commerce de gamètes par des organismes privés, sont accentués par les différences de législation entre les pays. C'est pourquoi elle lui demande si une révision de la « convention d'Oviedo » ou la création d'un nouvel instrument juridique international pouvait être à l'étude.
