Global AI Regulatory Landscape
Global AI regulations are rapidly evolving as nations, with only 1 AI-related bill passed in 2016 to 148 in 2023.
Countries are adopting different approaches. The EU initiated comprehensive regulations set for enforcement by 2025, prioritising transparency and accountability. Meanwhile, the U.S. and the U.K. opt for decentralised, sector-specific guidelines to balance innovation and safety. This diverse regulatory landscape highlights varying national priorities, necessitating harmonised standards for international cooperation and compliance.
AI is a rare case where I think we need to be proactive in regulation instead of reactive.
