The widespread use of generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) and AI has resulted in a global push for regulation. Nations across the globe are designing and implementing AI governance legislation and policies to address the flood of AI-powered technologies that threaten to overwhelm today’s enterprises.
As AI technologies advance rapidly, the EU has taken several decisive steps to establish legislation to oversee AI and ensure its ethical and responsible deployment across member states.
Although the US is at the vanguard of AI innovation, its regulatory approach appears to be disjointed, with a hotchpotch of laws (e.g. city laws, state laws) and non-binding guidelines.
The UK government has adopted a context-driven, proportionate regulatory approach, using existing sectoral laws to implement guardrails for AI systems.
China, another leader in AI innovation, focuses on advancing AI and its diverse applications and stealthily takes the lead in shaping the AI regulatory landscape.
