Legal Frameworks

The vast development of AI brings a problematic dichotomy between granting developers the resources, security and flexibility to create innovative AI models, and protecting the rights of their intended users. The balance is difficult to find, and leaning towards either side exacerbates the symptoms of the other. Imposing too much regulation presents added time and financial risk in the development process, with the burden of compliance becoming too onerous. Too little, however, undermines the trust that users can place in AI systems, and opens up the very real risk of causing wide scale harm. This page explores how jurisdictions around the world are trying to find that balance in the pursuit of becoming the global leader for AI development.
