AI
AI regulation has become the tech world’ s equivalent of a three-dimensional chess match – with governments, companies and regulatory bodies all making moves that will change how AI develops for decades to come.
AI has gone from being an inconceivable idea to easily generating photorealistic images of people who don’ t exist, convincing people of misinformation and making decisions that affect real careers.
It’ s no wonder that it now requires governance. But the catch is, that AI models are trained on data scraped from across the internet, complete with all the biases, errors and questionable content that entails.
Europe fired the starting gun with the AI Act in August 2024, establishing the world’ s first framework for AI regulation.
The UK then took a different tack, preferring existing regulators to handle AI within their sectors. Meanwhile, China has been quietly building its own rules focused on content control and national security.
But the chess game got more apprehensive when US President Donald Trump returned to the White House with a radically different vision.
While Europe obsesses over transparency and safety, President Trump’ s team wants to eliminate what they call“ woke” AI and tear down regulatory barriers.
