Current AI regulatory proposals lack a long-term, comprehensive framework
Key points
- Over 2,000 AI regulatory proposals exist in the US.
- None of these proposals establish a long-term regulatory framework.
- The author advocates for a proactive national AI regulatory body.
- Traditional regulatory bodies often form after crises.
The Current Regulatory Landscape
There are over 1,500 AI-related bills under consideration at the state level, hundreds in Congress, and dozens of executive actions from the executive branch. These nearly 2,000 proposals indicate a recognition that market forces alone cannot govern the AI revolution.
Shortcomings of Existing Proposals
While many proposed policy changes are thoughtful and represent steps forward, they are collectively insufficient. The common issue is their focus on current problems, rather than establishing a durable, comprehensive, and future-focused regulatory framework for AI.
The Need for Proactive Regulation
Historically, national regulatory bodies like the SEC and NRC were established in response to crises. The author suggests that policymakers should proactively create a national regulatory body with a broad mandate to oversee the AI revolution, addressing both present and future opportunities and challenges, to avoid waiting for a crisis to occur.
Challenges of a New Regulatory Body
Establishing a national AI regulatory body is not a complete solution. Such a commission would have a dynamic mandate due to AI's societal impact. Concerns include potential over-regulation and the need for continued oversight from legislative, executive, judicial, and public sectors. Balancing innovation with proper regulation in a global AI race is a significant challenge.
