Tech policy’s next big challenge:
Divergent approaches to regulating AI
The rapid growth of AI and its ramifications for nearly all aspects
of society and the economy is placing increasing pressure on the
U.S. and European governments to proactively set regulations
and guardrails for this nascent technological revolution. While AI
regulation is only in its infancy, we are already seeing divergent
regulatory approaches on either side of the Atlantic. What is clear,
however, is that AI policy will be a hotly debated issue in the halls
of government for years to come.
U.S.
Even in a bitterly divided Washington, Congress and the Biden
Administration are keenly focused on the growth of AI. Over the
coming months and years, we expect this focus to grow and AI
policymaking efforts to intensify.
Europe
The explosion in the use and application of generative AI since late
2022 has put its regulation firmly at the center of the policy agenda
across Europe. Much has been said about the vast potential for AI
to change every facet of ordinary life, but some have also expressed
concerns about potential harms, including bias, inaccuracy, and
infringement of rights.
