“The regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States has been a topic of increasing concern and debate in recent years. As AI technology continues to evolve and become more integrated into various aspects of society, policymakers and regulators have recognized the need for a regulatory framework to address its potential risks and ensure responsible development and implementation.
“Currently, AI regulation in the United States is in its early stages, and there is no comprehensive federal legislation focused solely on AI regulation. However, there are existing laws and regulations that affect certain aspects of AI, such as privacy, security and anti-discrimination. In addition, several federal agencies have been actively involved in exploring AI policy and issuing guidance.”
Plenty of other people have done this, including a United States Senator during one recent committee hearing I’m researching this topic, but what I just said was written by ChatGPT.
OpenAI’s grand language model is one of many tools that have quickly revolutionized the legal industry, sparking debate about whether AI should be regulated – and by whom.
The European Union recently took the first step towards the agreement the AI law, where regulations would increase in proportion to the potential threat to privacy and security posed by an AI system. China has also set rules to regulate AI.
In the United States, however, there has been very little movement toward establishing a regulatory framework at the federal level. Why is that? Is the United States at risk of letting others set the agenda as it did on data protection?
In this episode of the Podcast for legal rebels, Duane Pozza talks to the ABA Journal’s Victor Li about potential AI regulation in the United States. Pozza, a partner at Wiley Rein, advises clients dealing with complex legal and regulatory issues and regularly represents clients before the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
